[Verse 1]

I got high on scrapings from my nails

Now I'm back down

My eyes are growing dark

My burnt spoon has dried beneath the bed

And I'm dreaming of dirty blue balloons

[Chorus]

I've waited so long without you

I've waited too long for you

[Verse 2]

He came in, he didn't speak my language

I paid him with everything I had

And promised next time

He opened up his mouth

And then they floated out

Dirty blue balloons

[Chorus]

I've waited so long without you

I've waited too long for you

I've waited so long without you

I've waited too long for you

[Outro]

Nothing helps and no one else

Can make it feel okay

Float me through the day

Nothing helps and no one else

Can make it feel alright

Float me through the night

I can not let 'em go

Dirty blue balloons
