Dave Davies - Loony Balloon lyrics

The world's spinning round like a looney balloon Heading for a collision with Saturn and Mars And we're narrowly missing the man in the moon Spinning out of control crashing into the stars Have we all lost our gravity, reason and sanity? Is this the price that we pay? Have we now lost our way on this looney balloon? Drift away, just drift away It's so easy to just drift away Drift away, just drift away Drifting away on this looney balloon The air is running out, the computer's gone down The mechanic just panicked, he's nowhere to be found So automatic control is just spinning us round No point screaming in space, you just can't hear a sound Now the pilot's gone mad, he just jumped overboard With a lunatic smile on his face And he laughed as he cut the umbilical chord Now he's drifting forever in space Drift away, just drift away It's so easy to just drift away Drift away, just drift away Drifting away on this looney balloon We're out of control on this looney balloon Narrowly missing the planets and stars Even optimists say that it's all gloom and doom We've got to get somewhere or hit something soon First cla** and economy, we all played the game For selfish profit and gain So together we'll all go insane on this looney balloon Drift away, hey, just drift away Drifting away on this looney balloon Drift away, hey, just drift away Drifting away on this looney balloon Drift away, hey Drift away. Drift away
