lyrics

Balloons

It won’t be long now, baby
‘Fore your next life, your reticence
It won’t take long now, darlin’
‘Fore you get one that’s fulfilling
But I don’t know, lovely
What you believe in
God, I hope this is it
I got my sister in on it

It’s the first time, beauty
I’ve been stuck for something to say
I know how the hurt feels
If I times mine by ten or twenty
But I wish you’d believe me
When I say it will go away
He will go away
But now you can’t cope
‘Less he stays

Now girl, you keep on believing
That he is the bestest man
If it makes it okay now
To live and to understand
But I wish you could give
Yourself credit

To make up for what he
He doesn’t give you
Or at least believe me
When I say you are beautiful
You are beautiful
You are
Yes you are

On the way home were balloons
I wanted to phone you
But we are strange machines
See…
I remember things

Baby, don’t go mad
For men who think they’re gods
You were brought up subservient
Somewhere in there it makes sense
So use your intelligence
And your sexuality

Doesn’t make you dirty
Doesn’t make you a liar
Doesn’t make you me
Doesn’t make you unworthy
