Like A Secret

Did you ever wish you could be king?
 Holding heaven in your hands and hoping it would all come true
 Turn the world on its ear make it ring
 Rub sticks in dirt and dust and let the bright come burning through
 Don't talk me down from here
 Let me fly this kite without a string
 Goes much higher than these buildings, it goes faster than your TV
 Larger than your life, like silver
 Talk lines unbroken by old fears
 Necklaces of perfect words to hang around your perfect neck
 Turn a diamond to a lump of coal
 Making fires and melting ice, locomotion frees the soul
 Don't talk me down from here
 Let me fly this kite without a string
 Goes much higher than these buildings, it goes faster than your TV
 Larger than your life, like silver
 Colder than deep water
 It is better than a switchblade
 Hides mountains in its shadow
 Like a secret
 I make my bed alone
 See the would-be king on a would-be throne
 I'm all I know now
 Better get started, it's a long walk home
