The Rubens - Black Balloon
Can get out
I don't wanna be a let down
So I float around
Remember the day my feet found
Solid ground
Thought I couldn't see a way out when
I saw you
I saw you
I saw you
I saw you
Heaven sent December fools
After homer, afternoons
Spent dancing with the bulls
Red corolla, black balloon
Throw the clothes in the bathtub
Fill it half up
Stains from paint and grass and mud
Bleach in a cup
All good things go belly up
I'd had enough
Cause I forgot what I was trynna do
Fight for you
Fight for you
Fight for you
Fight for you
Heaven sent December fools
After homer, afternoons
Spent dancing with the bulls
Red corolla, black balloon
Things gеt heavy at the wrong time
All wrappеd up what does that feel like
No more waiting on the outside
Compost thoughts that want to ignite
Time will wear you down
And light will find you out
But the ones who turned their chairs around
Where are they now
They don't see you
Like I see you
Like I see you
Like I see you
Heaven sent December fools
After homer, afternoons
Spent dancing with the bulls
Red corolla, black balloon
Things get heavy at the wrong time
All wrapped up what does that feel like
No more waiting on the outside
Compost thoughts that want to ignite
