Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope of smoke and light,
Forgotten souls and dollars spent
Turning, burning into the night

We fade to black and fade from sight
Stones and dreams set swiftly ablaze
Kaleidoscope of smoke and light

Done so much wrong, still don’t feel right
Back-alley trysts and woozy dawns
Turning, burning into the night

I bark and bark but no one bites
In search of thrills too big to fail
Kaleidoscope of smoke and light

We’d trade our lives for unseen heights
Ecstasy beneath the high-rise
Turning, burning into the night

Joyfully, we give up our fight;
The city looms, immutable
Kaleidoscope of smoke and light
Turning, burning into the night
