richard shindell – balloon man lyrics
i’m standing outside on the balcony
balloon man is p-ssing below
making his way to the park by the church
he goes where the little ones go
balloon man’s a little bit ragged
his gl-sses are slightly askew
one lens is cracked and shoes never match
he might have a screw loose or two
and you’re so far away
on the other side of the world
i thought you might like to know
that balloon man lives in it too
his rig is a marvel of equipoise
leonardo might’ve designed
bamboo for the wide horizontal
pine for the vertical rise
he’s wearing in a flag-bearers harness
he’s holding the whole thing aloft
balloons all arrayed, he’s a one man parade
if he ran he’d surely take off
and you’re so far away
on the other side of the world
i just thought you should know
that balloon man lives in it too
but it’s cold up here on the balcony
and it’s time that i went back inside
balloon man waits for the light at the corner
i’ll watch til he goes out of sight
but there’s a wind that whips round the corner
and he’s having a h-ll of a time
he staggers and it looks like he might just go over
but balloon man he puts up a fight
and you’re so far away
on the other side of the world
i just thought you should know
that balloon man lives in it too
