Kite Fliers and High Wires Lyrics by Bob Childers

Circles Towards the Sun

1989

Fly your kite too close to the high line wire
Fly your kite too close to the high line wire
That flying toy's gonna set your ass on fire
When you ride your bike to the bottom of burnout hill
Yeah, you ride your bike to the bottom of burnout hill
If the tires won't go you know the coast will break with it
Flirt with the nurse with stilettos and a perm
Yeah, flirt with the nurse with stilettos and a perm
Gonna need a doctor but you know it could've been worse
You played way too close to the Santa Fe railroad track
You played way too close to the Santa Fe railroad track
My best friend [?] nearly never came back
If you listen close you can still hear the steel rail horn
