Barbie's Cradle - Shiny Red Balloon lyrics

im keepin my affair in a book so this is how a villain feels theyre running seasons in my chest and im only to keep them Chorus: maybe its not true love on the tv just like we imagine it and its so hard to do when theres always some distraction a shiny red balloon that spoils everything im keepin my affair in a book such practical and harmless vice but im feelin it could end up painfully and the tv should apologize im keepin my affair in a book my long and lonely compromise how can you live like that my dear well we do it spoils everything
