Hot Air Balloon
We wrote a preludeTo our own fairy taleAnd bought a parachuteAt a church rummage sale
And with a mean sewing machineAnd miles of threadWe sewed the day above L.A.In navy and red
We roamed a racetrackThrough your mom's kitchen chairsAnd fought the shadowsBack down your dark basement stairs
I lit a match, then let it catchTo light up the roomAnd then you yelled as we beheldAn old maroon hot air balloon
I'll be out of my mindAnd you'll be out of ideas pretty soonSo let's spend the afternoonIn a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behindLean out and touch the tree tops over townI can't wait to kiss the groundWherever we touch back down
We drank the great lakesLike cold lemonadeAnd both got stomach achesSprawled out in the shade
So bored to death, you held your breathAnd I tried not to yawnYou made my frown turn upside downAnd now my worries are gone
I'll be out of my mindAnd you'll be out of ideas pretty soonSo let's spend the afternoonIn a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behindLean out and touch the tree tops over townI can't wait to kiss the groundWherever we touch back down
I'll be out of my mindAnd you'll be out of ideas pretty soonSo let's spend the afternoonIn a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behindLean out and touch the tree tops over townI can't wait to kiss the groundWherever we touch back down
