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
  
   Now I'm awake...
