Chamaeleon Church was a short-lived American psychedelic rock (bosstown sound) band formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1967. In 1968 they spent two weeks in New York City's Mayfair studios recording their debut album. The studio was the only one in town equipped with professional 8-track recording equipment. "Camilla Is Changing" would be the lone single from the LP. Though unique, it was largely ignored by the public. Later, band members would publicly state their dissatisfaction with producer Alan Lorber's "soft rock" musical direction on the album. By 1969 the band was no longer. Two of the members went on to join Ultimate Spinach to record their third and final album. NOTE: Chamaeleon Church featured future actor and comedian Chevy Chase as a keyboardist, drummer & backing vocalist.

LYRICS: Camillia Is Changing
You will find her turning in twilight
Phosphorous hair making her many things
Lends into anything
She's decided not to take what fortune brings
Still wants to be part of the color scheme
Clings to another dream
Camillia is changing, she's painting her room
She thinks she can hide the secrets inside
No one sees her safe beneath the masquerade
Seasons like sand slip through her hourglass
Leaving her color last
Camillia is changing, she's painting her room
She thinks she can hide the secrets inside
They were waiting just outside her painted room
Inside she turns, just wants to fix her hair
Looks in the mirror where...
Camillia is changing, she's painting her room
She thinks she can hide the secrets inside
Camillia is changing, she's painting her room
She thinks she can hide the secrets inside
