lyrics
If I was going to fly a kite,
I’d fly a kite right by a tree,
And get my kite stuck in that tree,
Make no attempt to set it free,
And wait there ‘til I die.
I would not tug or yank or twist
The string tied tightly to my wrist;
I would sit down and wait and see
My own unfolding destiny
And wait there ‘til I die.
…I’d like to wait until I die.
I would not let my family know;
I would not pack a change of clothes.
My boss, I’m sure, would go berserk—
I would not call in sick to work—
I would wait there ‘til I die.
And when the day had turned to night
(For when has day not turned to night?),
Into the Darkness I would sing
Of my desire to be Nothing,
And wait there ‘til I die.
…I’d like to wait until I die.
Oh please don’t look for me
Asleep by a tree,
A string ‘round my wrist
And my head in my knees,
And don’t try to find
The kite left behind
By me
Please.
Towards my lawful destiny
—It is his lawful destiny—
I seek the solace of that tree
—It is his right, You must agree—
And ‘til the day that tree is found
Around my wrist a string is bound—
I’m waiting ‘til I die.

There’s been talk of an 80s revival of one sort or another since long before the 80s even came to an end. Some long for the angular rhythms … Continue reading Album of the Week: Laminate Pet Animal → Bandcamp Album of the Day Oct 28, 2011
