I was raised by a maid who came from
Martinique
She wore geckos round her neck and bracelets on her feet

A superstitious woman from the land of sugar cane
She'd sing the sun to bed and dance out in the rain
Dance out dance out dance out dance out in the rain


She'd excite us with his legend that the
Africans had told

About a red iguana who turned lava into gold
We'd mount an expedition headin' out into the bay
Superstitious children playing pirate for a day


Off to see the lizard
Off to see the lizard

Deja deja deja vu, believe it
And it will come true
Veja Veja Veja du

What works for me might work for you

Bein' rich and famous seems to have its ups and downs

That's the price you pay for being troubadours
and clowns
Godzilla's halitosis it be vaporizing cars

Elvis up in Michigan or maybe out on Mars
Dance out dance out dance out to the stars


But livin' in the briar patch ain't what it appears
Sooner or later you gotta face your fears
I heard it from the parrot verbalizing in the tree

I heard it in the song lines of the aborigine

Off the see the lizard

Off the see the lizard
Deja deja deja vu, believe it
And it will come true

What works for me might work for you


Does it work for me?
Yeah yeah
Will it work for you?

Yeah yeah
If you believe it will
Yeah yeah

It will come true

I got problems with my brain underneath my curls

Problems wif Loraine and all the other girls
Love a wealthy woman and the pretty plane she flies
If you think this songs confusing you should see it through my

eyes
Dancin, dancin, dancin through my eyes


I'm turning off the waterfall the tourists can go home
Feel it time to travel time to write a poem
Time to seek some therapy I'm goin' walkabout

Answers are the easy part questions raise the doubt

Off the see the lizard

Off to see the lizard
Deja deja deja vu, believe it
And it will come true
