Steve Bursky - Hot Air Balloon lyrics

[Verse 1] We wrote a prelude, to our own fairytale And bought a parachute, at a church rummage sale And with a mean sewing machine and miles of thread We sewed the day above L.A., in navy and red We wound a racetrack, through your mom's kitchen chairs And fought the shadows back, down your dark basement stairs I lit a match and let it catch, to light up the room And then you yelled as we beheld An old maroon hot air balloon [Chorus] I'll be out of my mind And you'll be out of ideas pretty soon So let's spend the afternoon In a cold hot air balloon Leave your jacket behind Lean out and touch the tree tops over town I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down [Bridge] La la la la la la La la la la la la [Verse 2] We drank the great lakes Like cold lemonade And both got stomach aches Sprawled out in the shade So bored to d**h, you held your breath And I tried not to yawn You make my frown turn upside down And now my worries are gone [Chorus (2x)]
