Dirty Blue Balloons Lyrics

I got high
On scrapings from my nails.
Now I'm back down.
My eyes are growing dark.
My burnt spoon
Has dried beneath the bed,
And I'm dreaming 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 can not let 'em go,
Dirty blue balloons.
