Second Skin (Live In Hamburg)

Original lyrics from "The Chameleons"

One cold damp evening

The world stood still

I watched as I held my breath

A silhouette I thought I knew

Came through

And someone spoke to me

Whispered in my ear

This fantasy's for you

Fantasies are "in" this year

My whole life passed before my eyes

I thought

What they say is true

I shed my skin and my disguise

And cold, numb and naked

I emerged from my cocoon

And a half remembered tune

Played softly in my head

He said

Then he turned smiling...

He turned smiling...

I realise a miracle is due

I dedicate this melody to you

I realise a miracle is due

I dedicate this melody to you

But is this the stuff dreams are made of?

If this is the stuff dreams are made of

No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air

No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air

I realise a miracle is due

I dedicate this melody to all of you

But is this the stuff dreams are made of?

If this is the stuff dreams are made of

No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air

No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air

No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air

Floating on air...

And it feels like I'm everywhere

It's like you fail to make the connection

You know how vital it is

(someone's banging on my door)

Or when something slips through your fingers

You know how precious it is

(someone's banging on my door)

Well you reach the point where you know

It's only your second skin

It's only your second skin

It's only your second skin
