Lizard's Dream

from the album I Hope It Lands

lyrics written by Mark Davies


Glaring down at beauty as he crawls across the page
His lusty crusty reptile mind has latched upon her face
Because a lizard's brain can't surmount the hurdles seen
Now she's a lizard's dream in a fashion magazine

Now a single thought has commandeered his tiny brain
One idea stands alone: he must have this lovely maid
Hot passion stokes his soul, nostrils flare with cold desire
Now he's a lizard caught on fire

And she's a dream, a lizard's queen
A feeble scheme, this lizard's dream

Monumental obstacles cannot dilute his whim
His scaly rind grows moist as he beholds her silken skin
Although a lizard's lips can't dispense a proper kiss
Still she's a lizard's queen in a fashion magazine

Strategies of courtship now expand to crowd his head
Warm images of wedding vows, a honeymoon in bed
Although a lizard's tongue can't propose to anyone
He plunges on with great aplomb

Because she's a dream, a lizard's queen
A feeble scheme, this lizard's dream

When a mind is small enough, dimensions fall apart
A photo works as well as any 3-D throbbing heart
Because a lizard's brain can't discern between page and flesh
I guess it works out for the best

And she's a dream, a lizard's queen
A perfect scheme, this lizard's dream
