Lyrics:
Open out like a big balloon
You’re a troublesome house, whatever you choose
Freeze the ghost, be happy as fat
Funny how the rainbow, it come right back
Before the walk in the Monday cold
Get the lunchbox with your name on, glitter in gold
Make me glad I didn’t know that
Make me high, want to collide
Make me glad I didn’t know that
Make me laugh for going without
Make me swoon like a big balloon
Keep me light up at the root
Make me glad I didn’t know that
Make me laugh for going without
I don’t want to look down
I don’t want to touch ground
The jungle days on the VCR
Are filling up gravity and spaceship parts
Leave it all for potato lands
When they’re getting upset
And you’re getting upset about sand
Make me glad I didn’t know that
Make me high, want to collide
Make me glad I didn’t know that
Make me laugh for going without
Make me swoon like a big balloon
Keep me light up at the root
Make me glad I didn’t know that
Make me laugh for going without
