Hi Folks.

Kaleidoscope

Lyrics:

Dormant memories, fluffy tails
Brakes that never fail
Dusty fairies, rusted rails
Waiting for train
Frail staircase to the sky
Lizard's dreams of mosquitoes and flies

Shards colored glass laying on the floor
My kaleidoscope - just an "upside" world
Books without words
Life without lords
Love without wars

Teaching a dying dog new tricks
Followers of "likes" and "clicks"
Musty dungeons, ancient bricks
waiting to crumble.
A balancing act of water and fire
Archaic ways of carrots and sticks.

Shards colored glass laying on the floor
My kaleidoscope - just an "upside" world
Books without words,
Life without lords,
Love without wars.

Knock, knock who's at the door?
Are you a friend or UFO? (likely, a "friendly UFO"? would be a better choice)
Is you silver starship ready for the liftoff?
Brushed my teeth and shined my shoes,
Got no time for travel blues
I am bewitched and amused.

Shards colored glass laying on the floor
My kaleidoscope - just an "upside" world
Books without words,
Life without lords,
Love without wars.
