Balloon Burning (Top Gear, 17 November 1968 (Presented by Brian Matthew)) Songtext
von The Pretty Things

New York
Grey and sorrow there to meet her
Night sky hangs around to greet her

She throws down
Lifeline of kisses
Anchored to the ground
Balloon descending

Then I see balloon is burning
Turning round, burning


This balloon, burning
This balloon, burning
This balloon, burning
This balloon, burning

Fragments of my life
Falling the sky on fire
All consuming

Then I see balloon is burning
Turning round, burning

This balloon, burning
This balloon, burning
This balloon, burning
This balloon, burning
