It's kaleidoscope, baby
The red glare of the departing sun,
Sky's horizon calling it a day
Wok on fire, and your tedious beats

It's kaleidoscope,  honey
The bottle green shards of whiskey,
Plants on the window sill
Pills scattered, turquoise green

It's kaleidoscope, see all around,
You're drowning in your blues,
Drinking all that pain
I know the sky holds vignettes of grey
I know that blue book, and what it says

It's kaleidoscope, darling,
All your secrets and longing stares
The yearning so colorful
But, the pain drains it all,
Doesn't it?
