Balloon

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
