Chameleon

I coulda been a mystery man of chance
A man of substance
A space cowboy
A favourite toy
King Menelaus
Helen of Troy
Astral juggernaut
Rodeo astronaut
A time machine
A beauty queen
An extra in a movie scene

I coulda been a real contender
For the next great pretender
A Mona Lisa
A yes man pleaser
The kiss before the main stage teaser

A doppelgänger
Sly like a fox
Pandora locked inside the box
The evil twin
The twisted kin
No priest can wash away my sin

I coulda been numero uno son
A naughty, playful, witty pun
An engineer
Lord of peer
A silk mouchoir to catch your tears

A major chord in a minor song
A super hero to right the wrong
A lesson learnt
Fingers burnt
A guilty verdict left unturned

I coulda been a war to end all wars
Humanity in revolving doors
A delicate flower
Nuclear power
A 40 day and night rain shower

A lover of convenience
An open book behind a fence
The last Mohican
A shipping beacon
Crushed and broken
My body beaten

I coulda been a
Burlesque dancer
Womanising chancer
A golden age
Misread the page
Fly into a fit of rage

Mata Hari keeping mum
Listen boys she ain't so dumb
Just a pawn
Left tattered and torn
Meet the firing squad at dawn

I coulda been a mystery man of chance
A man of substance
A space cowboy
A favourite toy
King Menelaus
Helen of Troy

I coulda been numero uno son
A naughty, playful, witty pun
An engineer
Lord of peer
A silk mouchoir to catch your tears
