Like A Secret

(앨범: Bivouac - 1992)

Did you ever wish you could be king?
Holding heaven in your hands
Hoping it'll all come true
Turn the world on its ear, make it ring
Rub sticks in dirt and dust
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 goes 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 and 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 goes 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
