John Murry - Little Colored Balloons lyrics

Up above the moon and underneath the gun, far away fromMississippi all the bu*tons come undone A hornet's nest inside my brain rattling like a submachine Saran Wrap and little colored balloons. A black nickel. Aneedle and a spoon You say this is ain't what I am? Well, this is what I do towarn your ghost away I know you don't believe in magic. Nobody does. Not anymore This uniform is stifling. It's hotter than the heat that'ssmothering my shoulders and burning up my feet. Every word's under review, bu*the jury's guilty, too… Saran Wrap and little colored balloons. A black nickel. Aneedle and a spoon You say this is ain't what I am? Well, this is what I do towarn your ghost away I know you don't believe in magic. Well, nobody does. Notanymore I watch the waves roll in and roll out just the same Like a song and dance, it's the oldest of His games I shut my eyes but through these tears a mean old worldreappears Saran Wrap and little colored balloons. A black nickel. Aneedle and a spoon You say this is ain't what I am? Well, this is what I do towarn your ghost away I know you don't believe in magic. Nobody does. Not anymore Why try and tell you, when you don't give a f**? You don'tbelieve in magic? You don't believe in luck? There is no “right” There is no “wrong” Same damn chorus, same damn song Saran Wrap and little colored balloons. A black nickel. Aneedle and a spoon You say this is ain't what I am? Well, baby, this is what Ido to warn your ghost away I know you don't believe in magic. Nobody does. Not anymore I held my hands out, blood stained and I got my doubts. Itried to wash it off. Yeah, I tried to wash it off. Red as Southern clay.Blood-red as Mississippi clay. And yes, it still remains. Goddammit, it stillremains! Where is Pilate's water? Tell me! Where is Pilate's water? Nightmaresin daylight! I'm stealing the birthright! Off 16th and Mission! Off16th and Mission! I took an ambulance ride: they said I should'vedied, right there on 16th and Mission, on 16th andMission I still miss you so much. I still miss you so goddamn much On 16th and Mission I'm right here at 16th and Mission Sing it!
