The Kills - Black Balloon Lyrics
Elevator straight into my skull
The escalator rises as it falls
I swear our chant is crashing in my mind
You can hold on but I wouldn’t waste your time
Farewell my black balloon
Farewell my black balloon
I’ve stood in a thousand street scenes
Just around the corner from you
On the edge of a dream that you have
Has anybody ever told you it’s not coming true
Farewell my black balloon
Farewell my black balloon, the weather had it’s way with you
Farewell my black balloon, the weather had it’s way with you
Farewell my black balloon
