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
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!"

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
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!"
