Silver Lining Lead Balloons (Radio Edit)

There's no use crying when you're alone at night

There's no use crying when you're at home in daylight

There's no use crying over milk that's spilt

It's time for a change and change can choke you up or cheer

Silver lining lead balloons

Press release and whistle tunes

That keep you going through the pain

Time to think is time to gain

There's no use lying when you've got mud on your face

There's no use lying down when life's at pace

There's no use lining all your dreams with silver

For silver lined clouds look much like lead balloons

Silver lining lead balloons

Press release and whistle tunes

That keep you going through the pain

Time to think is time to gain

There's no use having second thoughts or thirds

The fourth and fifth dimensions are usually for the birds

In six and sevens come the wonder eighth

A distant chime begins a countdown into space

Silver lining lead balloons

Press release and whistle tunes

I left my dreams in a rental car

Live for now and dream afar
