Hot Air Balloon

[00:19.28] We wrote a prelude

[00:23.53] To our own fairy tale

[00:28.03] And bought a parachute

[00:30.79] At a church rummage sale

[00:31.29] And with a mean sewing machine

[00:32.53] And miles of thread

[00:33.53] We sewed the day above L.A.

[00:35.77] In navy and red

[00:38.03] We wound a race track

[00:40.53] Through your mom's kitchen chairs

[00:42.79] And fought the shadows back

[00:45.29] Down your dark basement stairs

[00:47.53] I lit a match, then let it catch

[00:50.28] To light up the room

[00:52.53] And then you yelled as we beheld

[00:55.02] An old maroon hot air balloon

[00:57.79] I'll be out of my mind

[00:59.79] And you'll be out of ideas

[01:02.03] Pretty soon

[01:03.02] So let's spend

[01:05.04] The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon

[01:07.53] Leave your jacket behind

[01:09.53] Lean out and touch the treetops over town

[01:12.78] I can't wait

[01:14.78] To kiss the ground

[01:15.79] Wherever we touch back down

[01:30.53] We drank the Great Lakes

[01:38.54] Like cold lemonade

[01:40.53] And both got stomach aches

[01:43.03] Sprawled out in the shade

[01:45.29] So bored to death you held your breath

[01:48.02] And I tried not to yawn

[01:50.03] You made my frown turn upside down

[01:52.78] And now my worries are gone

[01:55.53] I'll be out of my mind

[01:57.53] And you'll be out of ideas

[01:59.78] Pretty soon

[02:00.79] So let's spend

[02:02.28] The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon

[02:05.04] Leave your jacket behind

[02:07.06] Lean out and touch the treetops over town

[02:10.04] I can't wait

[02:12.03] To kiss the ground

[02:13.29] Wherever we touch back down

[02:33.79] I'll be out of my mind

[02:36.03] And you'll be out of ideas

[02:38.05] Pretty soon

[02:39.04] So let's spend

[02:40.53] The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon

[02:43.28] Leave your jacket behind

[02:45.53] Lean out and touch the treetops over town

[02:48.27] I can't wait

[02:50.04] To kiss the ground

[02:51.30] Wherever we touch back down
