99 Days

[Verse 1] She said, "I want to be the rain I am a red balloon, I got a book of dates." She's going to go away and leave me here tonight Some worlds last longer then others She's got a red balloon, she's going to be the sky I'm going to paint my face tonight [Chorus] Hey, 99 days out of San Francisco Headed for Berlin Hey, 99 days left of California Headed with the wind If I sail across the water, I'll be floating blind Here beside the wild, monkey came alive She's leaving me behind, it's so hard to find She said, "I want to be a plane I am a red balloon, I'll never be the same And I'm gone, gone, gone on the wind." [verse 2] She said, "You'll never get away You need a red balloon, you need a better day This time, you're headed home this time" Some trips last longer then others, she just said, "Good-bye." She just floats away, I'm going to die right here this time Some girls last longer then others Too few red balloons, too little time tonight [Chorus]
