Here is my take (combining info from other posts and my guesses):
It's about his relationship with the drummer. The fact he was a bisexual and wouldn't commit signals a lot of the metaphors in the song:
'Desert Loving': In a desert you see an oasis which isn't really there.
'If I listened to your lies..I don't know how to sell a cotradiction': Lies reinforce the oasis in first line and not being able to sell or carry off the drummers bisexuality(contradiction) was the reason the drummer broke it off.
'Come and go': bisexuality and commitment to the relationship
'Chameleon': bisexual
'Red, Gold and Green': I think it signifies blacks(the african flag). The comparison is blacks to gays. Blacks are black they can't change it and it's obvious to everyone. In his dreams ('loving would be easy if the colors were like my dreams'), he wishes his partner was gay like blacks are black. Not able to change sides or hide.
