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.
