Ben Franklin's Kite Lyrics
Give me an answer
Why this cancer eats me away
How this restlessness
Could turn into a day.
I fear what comes first
The things that hide in the night
But I'm quaking, and shaking
Even now that it's light
And no I don't feel right
I can see but I've lost my sight
I'm high, so high
Like Ben Franklin's Kite
And maybe you'll find me
On another lonely street
By the smell of summer,
after she rains
Maybe you'll lose me
All together in her heat
Let this humid air
Take away my pain
And no I don't feel right
I can see but I've lost my sight
'cause I'm high, so high
Like Ben Franklin's Kite
Maybe you're weary
You always stand so tall
Maybe you, holier than thou
Will make me crawl
I don't claim to be better
I don't think that you do
But see I'm weak and incessant
My addictions the proof
And no I don't feel right
I can see but I've lost my sight
I'm high, so high
Like Ben Franklin's Kite
And maybe I'm crazy
But lightning might strike me tonight
And Maybe I'm crazy
But lightning might strike me tonight
Why this cancer eats me away
How this restlessness
Could turn into a day.
I fear what comes first
The things that hide in the night
But I'm quaking, and shaking
Even now that it's light
I can see but I've lost my sight
I'm high, so high
Like Ben Franklin's Kite
On another lonely street
By the smell of summer,
after she rains
Maybe you'll lose me
All together in her heat
Let this humid air
Take away my pain
I can see but I've lost my sight
'cause I'm high, so high
Like Ben Franklin's Kite
You always stand so tall
Maybe you, holier than thou
Will make me crawl
I don't claim to be better
I don't think that you do
But see I'm weak and incessant
My addictions the proof
I can see but I've lost my sight
I'm high, so high
Like Ben Franklin's Kite
But lightning might strike me tonight
And Maybe I'm crazy
But lightning might strike me tonight

this a beautiful song. it's so sad but then the end is so hopeful.
And maybe I'm crazy But lightning might strike me tonight And Maybe I'm crazy But lightning might strike me tonight
This song puts me in a mellowish mood. It's really really good. Just a bit depressing. I learned to play it on piano I liked it so much. Something Corporate Rocks!
I can see but I've lost my sight this song makes me kinda sad too..
this song. is just so perfect.
its nowt compared to some of ther other songs tho lol
i <3 this song. it is soooo good.
I kind of think that it's about death. That he lost someone in his family from cancer... Give me an answer Why this cancer eats me away How this restlessness Could turn into a day.
because he can't stand to see this person just fall away from his real life..and he's trying to get a hold of himself to realize that this person might not be here anymore..but he ends up finding something to give him more shock instead of the word cancer.. And maybe I'm crazy But lightning might strike me tonight And Maybe I'm crazy But lightning might strike me tonight
this is a beautiful song, one of a kind.
