Life's like that, delicious with claws

You never get the truth, just promises galore

Full at the heart, don't look down

Everybody loves you when you're playing the clown

Oh, oh mother dear

Don't let them shoot your kite down

Oh, oh mother dear

Don't let them shoot your kite

Out of the sky

Another year came, glorious sun

I tried to be an acrobat before I could run

The afternoon came, trumpets played

Oh, oh, maybe I'll get out of here one day

Father, oh father

Everybody's young and far too serious

Oh, oh mother dear

Don't let them shoot my kite down

Oh, oh father year

You'd let them shoot me down for sure

Another year

Don't let them shoot my kite

Out of the sky

Oh, oh mother dear

Don't let them shoot my kite down

Oh, oh mother dear

Don't let them shoot me out of the sky

Don't let them shoot your kite down

(Out of the sky)

Don't let them shoot your kite down

(Out of the sky)

Don't let them shoot your kite

(Out of the sky)

Don't let them shoot your kite

Life's like that, delicious with claws

(Out of the sky)

Don't let them shoot your kite

Life's like that, life's like that

(Out of the sky)

Don't let them shoot your kite

Life's like that, la la la la la

(Out of the sky)
