lyrics
KALEIDOSCOPE
Written by Gary Brooker, Keith Reid
Jostle, hassle, elbow muscle,
In a swirling rainbow tussle.
Call it gross, call it sheen,
Now you’re nice for one brief scene.
Lonely in the dark I grope,
Key's in my kaleidoscope.
Concrete faces change their places,
Set up stances, exchange glances.
Lost in multi-colored fugues,
There is no home which I can choose.
Lonely in the dark I grope,
Key's in my kaleidoscope.
(Organ solo)
In one phase, one moment's fusion,
Realize the new illusion.
Clutching fingers break the puzzle,
Jostle, hassle, elbow muscle.
Still out in the dark I grope,
Key’s in my kaleidoscope.
