Dirty Blue Balloons

I got high on scrapings from my nails

Now I'm back down, my eyes are growin' dark

My burnt spoon has dried beneath the bed

And I'm dreamin' of dirty blue balloons

I've waited so long without you

I've waited too long for you

He came in, he didn't speak my language

I paid him with everything I had

And promised next time he opened up his mouth

And then they floated out, dirty blue balloons

I've waited so long without you

I've waited too long for you

I've waited so long without you

I've waited too long for you

Nothing helps

And no one else

Can make it feel okay

Float me through the day

Nothing helps

And no one else

Can make it feel alright

Float me through the night

I cannot let 'em go

Dirty blue balloons
