Intro:

  

                 
 Come up and be a kite.

Verse 1:

                         
 Beelzebub 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.

Verse 2:

                             
 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 1:

                 
 Come up and be a kite,
                  
 And fly a diamond night.

                       
A di...iamond kite, a di...iamond 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.

Interlude:

  

                 
 Come up and be a kite.

Verse 3:

                             
 I feel a rush a-long my body, like a bullet,
                         
 I'm 2D, af-ter a push and pull feeling.
                         
And I want to get back to safe home,
                        
 I love the homeland dome.

Verse 4:

                                         
 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 2:

                 
 Come up and be a kite,
                  
 And fly a diamond night.

                       
A di...iamond kite, a di...iamond 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.

Coda:

  

                 
 Come up and be a kite.

  

                      
 Come up and be a kite.
