All of my life
Building the kites
And now that I'm safe
Still strings attached
Some of the dead wanted to come back
But the soldiers reject
Was the wise man thinking too much
Or was the wise man drinking too much
He walks tall
He's a man on a mission
He's an awesome man
She walks tall
She's a lady with a victory
He's awesome man, with an awesome girl

The neon burns a hole in the night,
And the freon burns a hole in the sky.
You can find my kind living right on the fault line,
Eyes on the seaside, lives on the B-side,
Kites on the, kites on the, kites on the power-lines.
Kites on the, kites on the power-lines.
It's like, I know what he tells you,
But I don't know why you believe him or won't leave it alone.
It's just us shimmying walking home and dodging cars.
The rest of the believers follow brighter burning stars.
A pushpin through my sternum,
I spent a long year under glass,
Watching your reflection in the cases as you passed.
And cupid limps in two years too late with a love letter for the ugly sister.
It's like, I'm sorry but you missed her, Mr. Mystery to me,
How lost you seem to be.
And from beneath, it all looks the same,
Gum-covered and rusted.
The neon burns a hole in the night,
And the freon burns a hole in the sky.
You can find my kind living right on the fault line,
Eyes on the seaside, lives on the B-side,
Kites on the, kites on the, kites on the power-lines.
Kites on the, kites on the power-lines.
Maybe you were right all along.
I say I'm sorry less than I am wrong.
So here we are, both half-starved.
You make it look so, you make look so hard.
Like I'm a shadow-boxer waiting for the other girl to make the first move,
And I'm a sad imposter, don't let the battles pick you.
We never do go over, we always gotta go through,
Love to sleep by the hum of the machine.
Veins filled with grenadine,

I will fly a yellow paper sun in your sky
When the wind is high, when the wind is high
I will float a silken silver moon near your window
If your night is dark, if your night is dark
In letters of gold on a snow white kite
I will write "I love you"
And send it soaring high above you
For all to read
I will scatter rice paper stars in your heaven
If there are no stars, if there are no stars
All of these and seven wonders more will I find
When the wind is high, when the wind is high
In letters of gold on a snow white kite
I will write "I love you"
And send it soaring high above you
For all to read
[...Chinese words...]
In letters of gold on a snow white kite
I will write "I love you"
And send it soaring high above you

I will fly a yellow paper sun in your sky
When the wind is high, when the wind is high
I will float a silken silver moon near your window
If your night is dark, if your night is dark
In letters of gold on a snow white kite
I will write "I love you"
And send it soaring high above you
For all to read
I will scatter rice paper stars in your heaven
If there are no stars, if there are no stars
All of these and seven wonders more will I find
When the wind is high, when the wind is high
In letters of gold on a snow white kite
I will write "I love you"
And send it soaring high above you
For all to read
[...Chinese words...]
In letters of gold on a snow white kite
I will write "I love you"
And send it soaring high above you

"look how much has happened
in such a short time"
she says to him
one husband, one wife
two kids, carpools and saturday rides
she says, "so why am i unhappy with my life?"
You race toward something
you don't know what you'll find
but you'll notice it
when you see it, you say
there must be more out there
waiting silently
you know your place
but you hate it just the same
so leave before the harvest
She knows that everything seems all right
but surfaces can hide what's inside
he says,"i love you but i'm reflecting less light
than when i was a child of the night"
You race toward something
you don't know what you'll find
but you'll notice it
when you see it, you say
there must be more out there
waiting silently
you know your place
but you hate it just the same
so leave before the harvest
say goodbye to your life
Complacency has wrapped you
inside her sheet
you wish for something to come
and save you
but no one comes
you must take care of yourself
we all learn that

hey I still remember
how you came to be my lover
you were calling out to me
saying won't you set me free
from this long lonely December
and it's cold cold bitter weather
creeping underneath my skin
this lonely state I've been in
well soon we were flying high
into the open sky
smiling in the sun
well is this what they all
is this what they all called love
well words can lose their meaning
twisted into misunderstanding
where even time could not mend
I had the best intentions
But still I could find no reason
Your feelings changed quick as seasons
Slipping out of reach
You're fading from my sweetest dreams
well is this what they all
is this what they all called love
words can lose their meaning
twisted into misunderstanding
I had the best intentions
is this what they all
is this what they all
is this what they all called love
hey I still remember
how you came to be my lover
you were calling out to me

my wings are like this
all my words on his lips
and my brain is on edge
i'm next to the bed
where i saw you
my weight is like his
we both lost what we kissed
and my hate burns like this
in my hands in his fist
and my love is so quick
like the legs of my kids
all the worlds i could lift
only fit
where i saw you
pile lover upon lover
'til we're covered with skin
there's nothing to discover
from the thunder and lightning
there's no way to recover
this is love not loving
but now we are all eachother

paths divided on the edge
defend yourself and kill the rest
it's your rule to survive
turn your head and keep your half
'flowers waving in my childish fields
trains passing by far on the rails
kites were flying high in the sky
it was my game, before that night.
your dresses on the bed
walls deforming, words unsaid
glasses crushing in the night
I was terrified.'
'it's not a matter you'll pay for,
don't take on so' you said on telephone
I'm not angry, I'm now aware
I'm just away, you'll never know where
'flowers waving in my childish fields
trains passing by far on the rails
kites were flying high in the sky
it was my game, before that night.
my dresses on the bed
walls deforming, words unsaid
glasses crushing in the night
I was terrified.'
your dresses on the bed
walls deforming, words unsaid
I didn't want to hear your cry
can you forgive me for that night?

My sister once told me
As the world unwound before me
That I would find my wings but the price was broken bones
And that day I fell from heaven
Well my soul it needed mending
She tied my shoes
And she helped me to my feet
And she held me to the sun and she let me shine
When my past became my present state of mind
And I’ll touch on the ideals which you’ve always meant
But without your air or fragrance there’s no scent
And my kite comes down
Now I must find the confidence
A seraphic coincidence
I leave you now but I’m promising sunny spells
So with your words speak holy
It will be your matrimony
Of your service to the sentence of this life
And I’ve been second guessing all this time
Cos it’s hard to find the penance when you don’t know why
And it’s hard to swim when the waters over head
Don’t give up yet
And frozen rain is not just hail
Forms the beauty that is snow when the summer fails

As the hour passes by I pass the hours and I sigh For the wakeup of the dawn For those I love and those I mourn For in silence and in vain Through the days of heavy rain For ones I left under the sun Before the wonder years begun
And in the torrent of the fall I will remember most of all How the tunnel of the spring Brought your lips upon my skin How we walked along the park In the hours of the dark And in the torrent of the fall I will remember most of all
As the hour passes by I pass the hours and I sigh For the wakeup of the dawn For those I love and those I mourn For in silence and in vain Through the days of heavy rain For ones I left under the sun Before the wonder years begun
And in the torrent of the fall I will remember most of all How the tunnel of the spring Brought your lips upon my skin How we walked along the park In the hours of the dark And in the torrent of the fall I will remember most of all
