Leo Kottke & Mike Gordon balloon

Select language to translate this lyric

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
