"Kite" lyrics - STEPHEN MALKMUS & THE JICKS

Born to merry amusement
Intellectual wolves like that
Over and unlived
Intellectual wolves like that
Intellectual wolves like that

Hiding out
Flying lower than a kite shoved in the closet
No deposit, no return
Just right now
I'm not looking for the kind of guy who'll turn my third place medal into gold
Love maneuvers on the omnibus
Pairing up in lab coats for their frog dissection
Look at his guts

Holy ghost
Am I just another milepost on the ascension to wherever you roll?
You take it from the back side
Love is open wide
Just right now
I'll start looking for the kind of guy who turns my third place medal into gold

Why you gotta ask?
Why don't you just know?
Why you gotta ask?
Why don't you just know?
The time has come and passed
And now I gotta go
