Looney Balloon

Me and you
And the rest of the crew
Spinning through space
On a looney balloon

Filled to the brim 
With the hot air of man
Knots and screws coming loose
Out on the fringe

Without a clue
Of who let us loose
Busting a move
On this looney balloon 

As we flip and we fly
Slide side to side
This way and that
All along for the ride

Ashes to ashes
Space dust to dust
How much is enough 
Before this thing busts

If not now 
I'm pretty sure soon
Putting an end to
This looney balloon
