I Was a Kaleidoscope - Acoustic, Live on KEXP

[00:00.06] One, two, three, four
[00:02.00]
[00:19.80] I put on my overcoat and walked into winter
[00:24.99] My teeth chattered rhythms
[00:28.06] And they were grouped in twos or threes
[00:30.98] Like a Morse code message was sent from me to me
[00:36.48] And cars on slippery slopes were stuck
[00:39.22] People pushing through their mittens as I was beginning
[00:44.82] To feel it soaking through my shoes
[00:47.77] Getting colder with every step
[00:51.06] I took to your apartment, dear
[00:55.00]
[01:11.84] And I was a kaleidoscope
[01:14.96] The snow on my lenses, distorting the image
[01:20.11] Of what was only one of you
[01:23.16] And I didn't know which one to address, as all your lips moved
[01:29.98] And this is when I forget to breathe
[01:33.76] And all the things I scripted, they sound unfounded
[01:38.15] And it's that look that you're giving me
[01:41.73] That tells me exactly what you are thinking
[01:45.94] "This ain't working anymore"
[01:49.20]
[02:04.70] They got their mothers worked into a panic
[02:08.58] Sledding down hills into oncoming traffic
[02:12.45] Then parents layered clothes until the children couldn't move
[02:16.50] And then left them outside 'til their noses were blue
[02:20.53] And I got left there, too
[02:34.58] I put on my overcoat and walked into winter
[02:39.51] My teeth chattered rhythms
[02:42.66] And they were grouped in twos or threes
[02:45.45] Like a Morse code message was sent from me to me
[02:53.77]
