Red Balloon

love fills my head like a big red balloon slowly inflating, invading every crack and crevice i float higher and higher still they say love makes me do dumb things my common sense has turned to nonsense (they say) they say it's best to extract the object from my head as soon as possible to avoid any further complications (they say they say) but soon i can't hear them as i'm floating away i smile sweetly and wave singing bye bye goodbye i'll see you another day you you take me out on a limb unsteady and cold and high so, so high in the sky and somewhere i wonder just how far i'd go for you with this dumb smile and this big red balloon you say it's okay so i believe it's okay despite the wind of reality keeping us clinging whiteknuckled and nervouslaughing and somewhere i wonder what might happen if the big red balloon should happen to pop -- it's a long, long long way down this time
