Lyrics
Black Balloon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Elevator straight into my skull
The escalator rises as it falls
I swear our jet is crashing in my mind
You can hold on but I wouldn't waste your time
Farewell my black balloon
Farewell my black balloon
I've stood in a thousand street scenes
Just around the corner from you
On the edge of a dream that you have
Has anybody ever told you, it's not coming true?
Farewell my black balloon
Farewell my black balloon
Let the weather have its way with you
Farewell my black balloon
Let the weather have its way with you
Farewell my black balloon
Farewell my black balloon
Farewell my black balloon
Let the weather have its way with you
Farewell my black balloon
Let the weather have its way with you
Farewell my black balloon
Let the weather have its way with you
Farewell my black balloon
Let the weather have its way with you
Farewell my black balloon
