Chinese Kites

Sometimes
Being a man goes hand in hand
With being confused
I do all that I can to keep myself amazed if not amused

With my eyes open
Stare at the sky
Rockets fly
Chinese kites
And satellites
Stars pass by
Galaxies die
I wish for just once I could get that high
If only for the view
If only for the view

You call me a fool caught in the afterglow of a non-event
Cruel
Can you be that cruel and unusual in your punishment
Splash down and then drown in a pool of perpetual astonishment

With our eyes open
With our eyes open
Stare at the sky
Rockets fly
Chinese kites
And satellites
Stars pass by
Galaxies die
I wish for just once we could see eye to eye
If only for the view
If only for the view
I wish for just once I could get that high
If only for the view

Twice the speed of light
Bending time

Stare at the sky
Rockets fly
Chinese kites
And satellites
Stars pass by
Galaxies die
I wish for just once we could get that high
If only for the view
If only for the view
If only for the view
If only for the view
If only for the view
If only for the view
I wish for just once we could get that high
If only for the view
