[Verse 1]
We wrote a prelude, to our own fairy tale
and bought a parachute, at a church rummage sale
and with a 'mean' sewing machine, and miles of thread
we sowed the day above LA in navy and red
we wound a race track, through your moms kitchen
chairs
and fought the shadows back, down your dark basement stairs
I lit a match then let it catch, to light up the room
and then you yelled as we beyelled an old maroon hot air balloon
[Chorus]
I'll be out of my mind, and you'll be out of ideas
pretty soon
so let`s spend, the afternoon in a cold hot air
balloon
leave your jacket behind, lean out and touch the
treetops over town
I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down
[Verse 2]
We drank the great lakes, like cold lemonade
And both got stomach aches, sprawled out in the shade
so bored to death you held your breath, and I tried not to yawn
you made my frown turn upside down, and now my worries are gone
[Chorus]
I'll be out of my mind, and you'll be out of ideas
pretty soon
so lets spend, the afternoon in a cold hot air
balloon
leave your jacket behind, lean out and touch the
treetops over town
I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back
down
[Chorus]
I'll be out of my mind, and you'll be out of ideas
pretty soon
so lets spend, the afternoon in a cold hot air
balloon
leave your jacket behind, lean out and touch the
treetops over town
I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down
