Up, up and away
In ballon full of hot air
Hanging from a hair
Up, up and away
No steering and no braking
Bravery faking
Up, up and away
Under ballon swinging high
Storm clouds coming nigh
Up, up and away
Fearsome lightning bolts flash by
Need help from on High
Up, up and away
Trying to hold breakfast in
Swaying in the wind
Up, up and away
Small box dangling in the wind
Need a Dramamine
Up, up and away
Pale and shaking in wet boots
Where’s a parachute
Up, up and away
First time is one time enough
This is scary stuff
Up, up and away
On the ground will always stay
Until dying day
Up, up and away
Forget it, here I will stay
You get underway
Up, up and away
No thanks, rather get my kicks
On Route Sixty-Six

Yellow Dress Red Balloon.
.
She’s delighted and excited
The little girl in a yellow dress
With a red balloon
She carries it around all day
Dancing upon her toes
And singing a happy tune
Dancing around the garden flowers
Under a sunny blue sky
Lost in another world for hours
.
Her Mommy says it’s nearly time for bed
So let go of the balloon and thread
They both watch as it floats high in the sky
And wave goodbye
Just like Mummy did
When she was five.

The Ballon
Pop goes the balloon
A thin pin pokes into it
Everyone’s head turns
Nah nah nah the baby cries
Everyone roll their eyes

give your tears to time
let them run over my forehead
in waves of goodbyes
like tides of isolation
like this bitter fruit truth
still i wanna be the earth for you
even i can´t find no sacred tune
against all insanities
I m the trace of the white wolf
in sad snow i ll hunt for you,
i ll give you this mind,
a soil of unbloomed flowers
i ll give you all,
me, a little child in a lost ballon

we dress as a bear
it was cold
we had on loads
of cloths
it was about to fall
the ball
off that wall
we also had a strong breeds
