lyrics

Kite flyer
You’re no good company
You got a tight hold
And no hurricane’s setting her free

Kite flyer
You let her fly high, dip low
Dance with the wind for a spell
But you ain’t letting go

How you gonna reach for the clouds
When you’re stuck on the ground?
When life keeps you down
Hitch a ride, don’t be found

Kite flyer
You live for the sparkle and flash
Show off your kite ‘til it fades
Send it out with the trash

Kite flyer
I can see right through you
You don’t think you’re worth much
Underneath all that tinsel, do you?

How you gonna reach for the clouds
When you’re stuck on the ground?
When life keeps you down
Hitch a ride, don’t be found

Kite flyer
You’re no good company
You got a tight hold
And no hurricane’s setting her free

Kite flyer
You let her fly high, dip low
Cut that line
You know she ain’t coming back no more
No more

Long Mama Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Long Mama’s music blisters with the heart and grit of someone who has lost hard, loved harder, and licked her burns until they stung then silvered. In a drafty attic just west of the Milwaukee River she grew up on, you’ll find songwriter Kat Wodtke (Wood-key) raking through notebooks in search of a salve: words, stories, and sounds to temper the dumpster fires we never mean to light. ... more
