Lost in kaleidoscope skies, I am hypnotised
When you look in my eyes
Lost in kaleidoscope skies, I get so high
When you look in my eyes

Drippin' away, when you look in my eyes
In a kaleidoscope of dangle hope
And chrystal lullabies
You've spoken truth, you've spoken lies

Now I finally realize
Don't tell what you speak with your eyes
