1000 Red Balloons

Ready or not here I come…
I’m going to smile so bright, you’re going to come undone.
I’m going to make you crazy,
just by being a happy baby—

Me, and my 1000 red balloons.

I’m going to make you glum
with so much kindness in my heart
you’ll not be able to have fun.

You’ll wait and wait for my
bitter hate,
your jaded escape—will be your own fate.
My smile will lift me to the
highest of heights—

Me, and my 1000 red balloons.

Higher and higher
We’ll rise away
Higher and brighter
into the gold  cayenne  sky.

Back on the ground
You’ll go mad as a hatter
watching me—

Me, and my 1000 red balloons.

But…
if  ever you’re  lonely
IF you need a friend
I’ll give you  one  red  balloon.

I’ll drop you a curtsey
[thank you for what you brought   though it hurt me].
Then, turn and fly away—

Me, and  my  999  red  balloons.
