lyrics

Step away. It's better in the light
Leave your shyness in the shell
Now's the time to let the kite go
While remembering what you had known
As a fleeting thing

That left you there in stark relief
Time to catch the kite
Cut its wings and trim its tail
Make the dish for which you're famous
With a flourish and a dash or two
The night gets lit
A perfect fit

My, how we lie
Nestled in this raging undertow
That pulls us far beyond the words
Worn like the rose
Ancient petals cured by paradise
Inside a storm that won't subside

Quick!
Is the circus leaving town?
Or are those hotshots at the big top
Holding up the tent not just to keep the rain at bay
Well you don't say

If I may
Take what's taken out
Leave it sealed up on the shelf
With the folded up instructions
That directs one how to best build
What may have been
If you can
Break it down and simplify it
Until this man understands
