Kite lyrics

«Come up and be a kite…»

Beelzebub is aching in my belly-o!

My feet are heavy and I'm rooting in my wellios.

And I want to get away and go

From all these mirror windows.

I look at eye level, it isn't good enough,

And then I find out, when I take a good look up.

There's a hole in the sky with a big eyeball,

Calling me:

«Come up and be a kite…

And fly a diamond night.

A diamond kite, a diamond kite!

Ooh, what a diamond!

A diamond kite, on a diamond flight

Over the lights, under the moon,

Over the lights, under the moon,

Over the moon, over the moon!»

«Come up and be a kite…»

I feel a rush along my body like a bullet.

I'm 2D, after a push and pull feeling.

And I want to get back to safe home:

I love the homeland dome.

I got no limbs, I'm like a feather on the wind.

I'm not sure if I want to be up here at all.

And I'd like to be back on the ground,

But I don't know how to get down-down-down!

«Come up and be a kite…

And fly a diamond night.

A diamond kite, a diamond kite!

Ooh, what a diamond!

A diamond kite, on a diamond flight

Over the lights, under the moon,

Over the lights, under the moon,

Over the moon, over the moon! Night!

Come up and be a kite…

Come up and be a kite!»
