Kaleidoscope Catalyst

Once upon a lovely summer dawn
A generation went boom
So many lines went undrawn
When the walls ran out of room
Splintered and cast adrift
Scattered by the technicolor shift
Oh, you can feel the aftershocks
From that rumbling quake
Like an avalanche of rolling rocks
That still makes foundations shake

Went to the Universe City
Where it’s all matter of degree
Where the walls breathe relativity
Where the electric bombshell dropped
Where the static bubble popped
Turn on tune in to what the pine cone sees
With a crystal clear batch of pure Phd
Liquid synchronicity dust
The kaleidoscope catalyst
Problem child
Of a Swiss bicyclist
Strange such a substance
Should even exist
The kaleidoscope catalyst
Demeter’s hidden kiss
The kaleidoscope catalyst

Forged in the crucible of serendipity
An accident of birth
Born to neutral chemistry
As Mars took over the Earth
Waging what a broken atom’s worth
With Pluto right behind
This one blows up cities
But this one blows your mind

Man, the age was more than Aquarian
It was overtly subversive
And downright contrarian
When all the senses combined
Tasting synesthesia views
Turning on cultures colorblind
To intangible magical hues

Went to the Universe City
Where it’s all matter of degree
Where the walls breathe relativity
Where the electric bombshell dropped
Where the static bubble popped
Turn on tune in to what the pine cone sees
With a crystal clear batch of pure Phd
Liquid synchronicity dust
The kaleidoscope catalyst
Problem child
Of a Swiss bicyclist
Strange such a substance
Should even exist
The kaleidoscope catalyst
Demeter’s hidden kiss
The kaleidoscope catalyst

Oh yes that sound is still around
Though fainter with every year
But if you keep both ears to the ground
There’s just enough left to hear
Lost secret dimensions
The rye’s no mystery to me
For my essence is Eleusinian
Awaiting the return of Persephone

Went to the Universe City
Where it’s all matter of degree
Where the walls breathe relativity
Where the electric bombshell dropped
Where the static bubble popped
Turn on tune in to what the pine cone sees
With a crystal clear batch of pure Phd
Liquid synchronicity dust
The kaleidoscope catalyst
Problem child
Of a Swiss bicyclist
Strange such a substance
Should even exist
The kaleidoscope catalyst
Demeter’s hidden kiss
The kaleidoscope catalyst
