Bride And Groom

Young couple

Is kickin air as their burning balloon

Takes the pair up and up and up and up, up and up and up.

Awful windy day...

And the young agricultural manufacturer's assistant

Slowly raises his sleepin eyes

He opens them wide wide wide wide

As he stares up at the sky sky sky sky.

And the couple cries

To ears that could not hear "we are up here!

And we are so very afraid of heights!"

Then one of the brides said, "I think it's very clear

With my premonitions here,

Dear, we were meant to float up high

In the big hot balloon tonight."

And now she's cryin'

"Oh darlin, darlin dear,

I'm so sorry to have brought you here!

Your most terrible of fears...

We won't get to see the morning sky..."

And I can't help but wonder why

I'm not afraid to die... (that's a lie)

And the water's all around them now

The water's all around them,

Now the townsfolk had tried to help,

But how?

But now the ground is miles from them.

Bound for the ocean.

Bound to let go sometime.

And their arms are getting tired,

Yeah their bones are flaked with fire

From the string of their wires.

She looks into his eyes eyes eyes eyes

Says "at least we know we tried tried tried tried."

And the couple sighed

For years and up 'til here they both have dreamed,

And so they swept their plans into the sea.

And she said, "we could be a pair of happy fish, we'll build a house in a sunkin ship. We'll be be a pair of happy fish, we'll build our house in a sunkin ship!"

Now, they're a pair of happy fish, they live inside a sunkin ship!

Now, they're a pair of happy fish, they live inside a sunkin ship!

She calls the ship william

But when you let go at the same time

With the flowers all fallin down,

With the angels, the flowers floatin around,

Stand up and make themselves known now!

For letting the lovers!

Lovers drown... Let the lovers drown, without a sound.
