KATE BUSH
- Kite Lyrics / with translationsBeelzebub is aching in my belly-o
My feet are heavy and I'm rooting 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 out, when I take a good look up
There's a hole in the sky with a big eyeball
Calling me-
(Chorus)
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 2D, 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
(Chorus)
My feet are heavy and I'm rooting 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 out, when I take a good look up
There's a hole in the sky with a big eyeball
Calling me-
(Chorus)
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 moon, over the moon
I feel a rush along my body like a bullet
I'm 2D, 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
(Chorus)
