"Hot Air Balloon"

[00:19.10] We wrote a prelude to our own fairytale

[00:23.71] And bought a parachute at a church rummage sale.

[00:28.45] And with a mean sewing machine and miles of thread

[00:33.22] We sewed the day above L.A. in navy and red.

[00:38.09] We round a racetrack through your mom's kitchen chairs

[00:42.84] And fought the shadows back down your dark basement stairs.

[00:47.58] I lit a match and let it catch to light up the room.

[00:52.34] And then you yelled as we beheld an old maroon.

[00:57.08] Hot air balloon.

[00:57.95] I'll be out of my mind,

[00:59.49] And you'll be out of ideas pretty soon.

[01:03.25] So let's spend the afternoon

[01:06.24] In a cold hot air balloon.

[01:07.86] Leave your jacket behind,

[01:09.86] Lean out and touch the tree tops over town.

[01:12.61] I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down.

[01:35.80] We drank the Great Lakes like cold lemonade.

[01:40.35] And both got stomach aches sprawled out in the shade.

[01:45.11] So bored to death you held your breath and I tried not to yawn.

[01:50.12] You make my frown turn upside down and now my worries are gone.

[01:55.14] I'll be out of my mind,

[01:57.61] And you'll be out of ideas pretty soon.

[02:00.89] So let's spend the afternoon

[02:03.87] In a cold hot air balloon.

[02:05.62] Leave your jacket behind,

[02:07.37] Lean out and touch the tree tops over town.

[02:10.36] I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down.

[02:34.14] I'll be out of my mind,

[02:36.13] And you'll be out of ideas pretty soon.

[02:39.12] So let's spend the afternoon

[02:42.14] In a cold hot air balloon.

[02:43.86] Leave your jacket behind,

[02:45.62] Lean out and touch the tree tops over town.

[02:48.87] I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down.
