I'm an expansive, blown up balloon 

But my swollen bag contains only gloom 

With my last exhalation i sing a dismal tune 

I am a big balloon

I am a big balloon 

I am a big balloon 


I'm a flutterring helium balloon 

I will rise up in the air this afternoon 

Tonight I'll cause an eclipse of the moon 

I am a big balloon 

I am a big balloon 


You blew me up 

You had me punctured 

You mended me 

Refilled me 

Administered

Artificial respiration to me 

Now i've forgotten how to breath by myself 

I've still got my valve in your mouth, oh

I am a big balloon.

I am a big balloon.


I'm a flexible, pliable balloon 

With a constantly extended volume 

I think I'll explode very very soon 

I am a big balloon 

I am a big balloon 


I'm a hollow, straved balloon 

Within me there's a reverberant, empty room 

So you have already left me, I assume 

I am a big balloon.

I am a big balloon.


You blew me up 

You had me punctured 

You mended me 

Refilled me 

Administered

Artificial respiration to me 

Now i've forgotten how to breath by myself 

I've still got my valve in your mouth

I am a big balloon.

I am a big balloon
