Balloon
Goon Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I really need to get some things off my mind
I wanna live on top of the sun
Don't wanna see the dark with you or anyone
Stick me up in the sky
It don't make a difference if we live or die
Tell me jokes, I'll pretend to laugh
I gotta get out, I gotta get outta here
Gotta get out, I gotta get outta here
Gotta get out, I gotta get outta here soon
Does anybody got a balloon?
I gotta get out of this room now
Does anybody got a balloon?
I wanna float away with you
And now you're stuck with the slack
You better watch it 'cause now it's coming back
After all, it doesn't matter anymore
I gave it away and I got back four
Does anybody got a balloon?
I gotta get out of this room now
Does anybody got a balloon?
I wanna float away with you
Can we get up and take a ride?
I really need to get some things off my mind
I wanna live on top of the sun
Don't want to see the dark with you or anyone
Stick me up in the sky
It won't make a difference if we live or die
Tell me jokes, I'll pretend to laugh
I'm really sure it will be a big gas
I gotta get out, I gotta get outta here
Gotta get out, I gotta get outta here
Gotta get out, I gotta get outta here soon
Does anybody got a balloon?
I gotta get out of this room now
Does anybody got a balloon?
I wanna float away with you
