Heavy Balloon

People like us, we play with a heavy balloon
 We keep it up to keep the devil at bay
 But it always falls way too soon
 People like us, we play with a heavy balloon
 We keep it up to keep the devil at bay
 But it always falls way too soon
 People like us, we play with a heavy balloon
 We keep it up to keep the devil at bay
 But it always falls way too soon
 I spread like strawberries
 I climb like peas and beans
 I've been sucking it in so long
 That I'm busting at the seams
 I spread like strawberries
 I climb like peas and beans
 I've been sucking it in so long
 That I'm busting at the seams
 In the middle of the day, it's like the sun
 But the Sahara one, staring me down
 Forcing all forms of life inside of me
 To retreat underground
 It grows relentless like the teeth of a rat
 It's just got to keep gnawing at me
 And it constricts like a boa on a hose, nothing flows
 So the pressure grows instead of the sea
 People like us get so heavy and so lost sometimes
 So lost and so heavy that the bottom
 Is the only place that we can find
 We get dragged down
 Down to the same spot enough times in a row
 The bottom begins to feel like
 The only safe place that you know
 But you know what?
 I spread like strawberries
 I climb like peas and beans
 I've been sucking it in so long
 That I'm busting at the seams
 I spread like strawberries
 I climb like peas and beans
 I've been sucking it in so long
 That I'm busting at the seams
