Hot Air Balloon
[00:19.00]We wrote a prelude
[00:21.00]To our own fairy tale
[00:23.00]And bought a parachute
[00:26.00]At a church rummage sale
[00:28.00]And with a mean sewing machine
[00:31.00]And miles of thread
[00:33.00]We sewed the day above L.A.
[00:36.00]In navy and red
[00:38.00]We wound a race track
[00:40.00]Through your mom's kitchen chairs
[00:42.00]And fought the shadows back
[00:45.00]Down your dark basement stairs
[00:47.00]I lit a match
[00:48.00]then let it catch
[00:50.00]To light up the room
[00:52.00]And then you yelled
[00:53.00]as we beheld
[00:55.00]An old maroon hot air balloon
[00:58.00]I'll be out of my mind
[01:00.00]And you'll be out of ideas
[01:02.00]Pretty soon
[01:03.00]So let's spend
[01:05.00]The afternoon
[01:06.00]in a cold hot air balloon
[01:08.00]Leave your jacket behind
[01:09.00]Lean up and touch
[01:11.00]the treetops over town
[01:13.00]I can't wait
[01:14.00]To kiss the ground
[01:15.00]Wherever we touch back down
[01:35.00]We drank the Great Lakes
[01:38.00]Like cold lemonade
[01:40.00]And both got stomach aches
[01:43.00]Sprawled out
[01:44.00]in the shade
[01:45.00]So bored to death
[01:46.00]you held your breath
[01:48.00]And I tried not to yawn
[01:50.00]You made my frown
[01:51.00]turn upside down
[01:52.00]And now my worries are gone
[01:56.00]I'll be out of my mind
[01:57.00]And you'll be out of ideas
[01:59.00]Pretty soon
[02:00.00]So let's spend
[02:02.00]The afternoon
[02:03.00]in a cold hot air balloon
[02:05.00]Leave your jacket behind
[02:07.00]Lean up and touch
[02:08.00]the treetops over town
[02:10.00]I can't wait
[02:12.00]To kiss the ground
[02:13.00]Wherever we touch back down
[02:34.00]I'll be out of my mind
[02:36.00]And you'll be out of ideas
[02:38.00]Pretty soon
[02:39.00]So let's spend
[02:40.00]The afternoon
[02:42.00]in a cold hot air balloon
[02:44.00]Leave your jacket behind
[02:45.00]Lean up and touch
[02:47.00]the treetops over town
[02:49.00]I can't wait
[02:50.00]To kiss the ground
[02:51.00]Wherever we touch back down
