john murry - little colored balloons lyrics

up above the moon and underneath the gun
far away from mississippi all the b-ttons come undone
a h-rnet’s nest inside my brain rattling like a submachine

saran wrap and little colored balloons
a black nickel, a needle and a spoon
you say this is ain’t what i am?
well, this is what i do to warn your ghost away
i know you don’t believe in magic
n0body does, not anymore

this uniform is stifling
it’s hotter than the heat that’s smothering my shoulders and burning up my feet
every word’s under review, but the jury’s guilty, too…

i watch the waves roll in and roll out just the same
like a song and dance, it’s the oldest of his games
i shut my eyes but through these tears a mean old world reappears

why try and tell you, when you don’t give a f-ck?
you don’t believe in magic?
you don’t believe in luck?
there is no “right”
there is no “wrong”
same d-mn chorus, same d-mn song

i held my hands out, blood stained and i got my doubts
i tried to wash it off
yeah, i tried to wash it off
red as southern clay
blood-red as mississippi clay
and yes, it still remains
goddammit, it still remains!
where is pilate’s water?
tell me! where is pilate’s water?
nightmares in daylight!
i’m stealing the birthright!
off 16th and mission!
off 16th and mission!
i took an ambulance ride
they said i should’ve died
right there on 16th and mission, on 16th and mission

i still miss you so much
i still miss you so godd-mn much
on 16th and mission
i’m right here at 16th and mission
sing it!
