Dirty Blue Balloons Lyrics

Dirty Blue Balloons lyrics

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
