I GOT HIGH ON SCRAPPINGS FROM MY NAILS

NOW I'M BACK DOWN MY EYES ARE GROWING DARK

MY BURNT SPOON HAS DRIED BENEATH THE BED

AND I'M DREAMING OF DIRTY BLUE BALLOONS



I'VE WAITED SO LONG WITHOUT YOU

I'VE WAITED TOO LONG FOR YOU



HE CAME IN, HE DIDN'T SPEAK MY LANGUAGE

I PAID HIM WITH EVERYTHING I HAD

AND PROMISED NEXT TIME HE OPENED UP HIS MOUTH

AND THEN THEY FLOATED OUT DIRTY BLUE BALLOONS



NOTHING HELPS AND NO ONE ELSE

CAN MAKE IT FEEL OKAY FLOAT ME THROUGH THE DAY

NOTHING HELPS AND NO ONE ELSE

CAN MAKE IT FEEL ALRIGHT FLOAT ME THROUGH THE NIGHT

I CAN NOT LET 'EM GO

DIRTY BLUE BALLOONS
