I'm just a lonely boy and I play With my red kite in the sky I hold the string in both of my hands Try to teach it to fly But then the wind becomes much stronger And breaks my dream in two I see the light at the end of the tunnel And I'm running back to you Now I'm awake With the eyes of a stranger And I'm awake Out of my world of danger I'm looking 'round in our bedroom What the hell is going on I see an orange dressed foreign man Hanging on his telephone But then a voice tries to tell me What's going on tonight I had a fit a mental blackout I'll say goodbye to my red kite
