I used to be a funny kite I used to make the glow Inside the belly of the cloud The skyline ablaze Framed by the dots of the stars I set alight From your point of view I would be upside down A puppet on a string I would fly free and you would lead Its just what we need The tension between us is just what makes this work Shot down Head first This is all Im falling through the air A careless word to tip the scales Ooh One word is just about enough Ah It was the mutuality The closeness and the distance Was the consistency of things You held me down And on the other hand i did hold you up It was a surprise The balance and the harmony So easily destroyed One word is just about enough To tilt the scales (to tilt the scales) To mess it up I saw it coming and I could not do a thing Shot down Head first This is all Im falling through the air Tumbling trough the air
