 Come up and be a kite.

Verse 1:

A             G            D
 Beelzebub is aching in my belly-o,
A                          E             D
 My feet are heavy and I'm rooting in my wellios.
      A                    G
And I want to get away and go,
     E                F       G
From all these mirror windows.

Verse 2:

A                     G        D
 I look at eye level; it isn't good enough,
A                     G             D
 And then I find out, when I take a good look up.
          A
There's a hole in the sky,
       G           E          F  G
With a big eyeball calling me.

Chorus 1:

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

  F    Eb             G    Eb
A di...iamond kite, a di...iamond kite.
Cm           Bb
 Ooh, what a diamond!

  F                  Eb
A diamond kite, on a diamond flight.
F                 Eb
 Over the lights, under the moon,
F                 Eb
 Over the lights, under the moon.
F               Eb
 Over the moon, over the moon.

Verse 3:

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

Verse 4:

A                    G                     D
 I got no limbs; I'm like a feather on the wind,
A                        E             D
 Well I'm not sure, if I want to be up here at all.
        A                      G
And I'd like to be back on the ground,
      E                     F     G
But I don't know how to get down.

Chorus 2:

 Over the lights, under the moon.

 Over the moon, over the moon.
