 (Chords)
He was  a great balloon  maker.
The balloons  were never known  for speed.
There's  no way she'll get speed.
They  asked me to waste some time.
 (Chords)
Come  out and see  the sun,  you're all  we've got.
But  I said "I think  there's more  of them  like us."
He  said "you might  be right,  we'll find  out in ti-i-ime....  somewhere."
I  let all breathe here.
He was  a great balloon  maker.
Then they  outlawed all  balloons.
He  packed up and put his things away.
They  asked me to waste some time.
