[Verse 1]. We wrote a prelude to our own fairy tale. and bought a parachute at a church rummage sale. and with a 'mean' sewing machine and miles of thread. we sowed the day above LA in navy and red. we wound a race track through your moms kitchen. chairs. and fought the shadows back down your dark basement stairs. I lit a match then let it catch to light up the room. and then you yelled as we beyelled an old maroon hot air balloon. [Chorus]. I'll be out of my mind and you'll be out of ideas. pretty soon. so let`s spend the afternoon in a cold hot air. balloon. leave your jacket behind lean out and touch the. treetops over town. I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down. [Verse 2]. We drank the great lakes like cold lemonade. And both got stomach aches sprawled out in the shade. so bored to death you held your breath and I tried not to yawn. you made my frown turn upside down and now my worries are gone. [Chorus]. I'll be out of my mind and you'll be out of ideas. pretty soon. so lets spend the afternoon in a cold hot air. balloon. leave your jacket behind lean out and touch the. treetops over town. I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back. down. [Chorus]. I'll be out of my mind and you'll be out of ideas. pretty soon. so lets spend the afternoon in a cold hot air. balloon. leave your jacket behind lean out and touch the. treetops over town. I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down
