Lyrics

Did you ever wish you could be king?
Holding heaven in your hands
And hoping it will all come true
Turn the world on its ear make it ring
Rub sticks in dirt and dust
And let the bright come burning through
Don't talk me down from here
Let me fly this kite without a string
Goes much higher than these buildings
It is faster than your tv
Larger than your life, like silver
Talk lines unbroken by old fears
Necklaces of perfect words to hang around your perfect neck
Turn a diamond to a lump of coal
Making fires amd melting ice
Locomotion frees the soul
Don't talk me down from here
Let me fly this kite without a string
Goes much higher than these buildings
It is faster than your tv
Larger than your life, like silver
Colder than deep water
It is better than a switchblade
Hides mountains in its shadow like a secret
I make my bed alone
See the would-be king on a would-be throne
I'm all I know now
Better get started
It's a long walk home
