Balloon Songtext
von Leo Kottke & Mike Gordon

When your brother and his raisin jack
Blow up in the yard
And the elephants refuse to honk
Just to break your heart

Balloon

When your friends tell you you′re not the same
Grapefruit skies allow
Tears of gold bought any happiness
You must yell out loud

Balloon

Quiet shrouds the world below
And people crowd the moon
While mobs advance a stupid tune
With a shout or moan


Balloon

And when the pilot drops you on the ground
That old familiar thud
Still the planets in the useful dark
Rise above the crud

Balloon

Quiet clouds the world below
People crowd th moi
When the pilot hits the ground
That old familiar tune

When the racoon steals the cheese behind
Pandora's other box
Or the one you love is shopping for
A helm that′s made of rocks

Balloon
