[00:00:00] A Lesson Perhaps - Kaleidoscope

[00:00:00] Written by：Eddie Pumer/Peter James Daltrey

[00:00:01] The early morning castle stirred

[00:00:06] The king of the forest stared vacantly

[00:00:09] Toward the east

[00:00:11] His bloodshot eyes caught no reasoning

[00:00:15] A lazy fly landed on his suit of velvet

[00:00:19] And he cursed the creation

[00:00:24] Like an unwanted shadow

[00:00:26] The queen of conscience entered the already broken morning

[00:00:30] She spoke eat my master

[00:00:34] The king moved to a coffin corner

[00:00:36] Where another lazy fly contemplated the dust of time

[00:00:43] Bring me a kingdom and I will eat

[00:00:45] His voice disturbed the dust and the fly

[00:00:49] I am without power to bring you power

[00:00:52] The queen sighed like an autumn breeze

[00:00:57] Then I will not eat

[00:01:01] The king moved to his guilty throne

[00:01:03] And seated himself among his ancestors

[00:01:07] My king

[00:01:08] If you want a kingdom and power

[00:01:10] If you want money and love if you want respect and admiration

[00:01:13] Then you must go out and take it

[00:01:18] The king stared vacantly to the east

[00:01:20] And a dozen flies waiting in the dust stared back

[00:01:26] I am the king it is not my part to capture and claim

[00:01:29] It is my people's duty

[00:01:30] The queen cried and the little crystal tears tickled her cheeks

[00:01:38] She brushed them away angrily

[00:01:40] You have no people and while you remain the ghost of the past

[00:01:44] You will never have people or a kingdom

[00:01:46] She ran from the pathetic chamber

[00:01:49] A fly left with him

[00:01:52] The king breathed and though deeply

[00:01:56] I will have people he said nervously to his conscience

[00:02:00] I will have people

[00:02:20] The king of the forest never rose again from his guilty throne

[00:02:26] And the dust and the lazy flies lived on him

[00:02:31] And the king lived on his dreams

[00:02:35] And died on them
