Black Balloon

From Midnight Boom2008

Lyrics

Black Balloon

Elevator straight into my skull The escalator rises as it falls I swear our chant is crashing in my mind You can hold on but I wouldn't waste your time Farewell my black balloon Farewell my black balloon I've stood in a thousand street scenes Just around the corner from you On the edge of a dream that you have Has anybody ever told you it's not coming, true? Farewell my black balloon Farewell my black balloon, the weather had it's way with you Farewell my black balloon, the weather had it's way with you Farewell my black balloon Da, da, da, da... Ah, ah, ah, ah... Farewell my black balloon Farewell my black balloon, the weather had it's way with you Farewell my black balloon, the weather had it's way with you Farewell my black balloon
