Kite - Lyrics by Kate Bush


Lyrics
Come up and be a kite
Beelzebub is aching in my belly-o.
My feet are heavy and I'm rooted 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 it 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,
On a diamond flight!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!I feel a rush along my body, like a bullet.I'm 2-d 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.
Well, 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,
On a diamond flight!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!
