I'd look at you, and perhaps you'll smile at me Loving my kaleidoscope world The stars and planets just glide on by Cold and patient like white gods' eyes We smile a lot, loving our kaleidoscope world It gets a bit cold so we turn on the heater Things are great but that makes it neater We'll never die in our kaleidoscope world Come along baby we'll live in our kaleidoscope world Come along baby we'll live in my kaleidoscope world (etc) Kaleidoscope world We go for a swim in the deep of space A thousand colours reflect off your face The stars surround us as we sail on through our kaleidoscope world Don't need a red light bulb - I can see Mars We've got a stereo and electric guitars The sounds we make echo on through our kaleidoscope world Like this... If we were floating in a space capsule I'd look at you and perhaps you'll smile at me Loving my kaleidoscope world Come along baby we'll live in our kaleidoscope world Come along baby we'll live in my kaleidoscope world (etc) Kaleidoscope world
