99 Days

She said

"I wanna be the rain, I am a red balloon, I got a book of dates"

She's gonna go away and leave me here tonight

Some worlds last longer then others

She's got a red balloon, she's gonna be the sky

I'm gonna paint my face tonight



Hey, 99 days out of San Francisco

Headed for Berlin

Hey, 99 days left of California

Headed with the wind



If I sail across the water, I'll be floating blind, here beside the wild

Monkey came alive, she's leaving me behind

It's so hard to find

She said,

"I wanna be a plane, I am a red balloon, I'll never be the same

And I'm gone, gone, gone on the wind"

She said

"You'll never get away, you need a red balloon, you need a better day

This time, you're headed home this time"

Some trips last longer then others, she just said, "Goodbye"

She just float away, I'm gonna die right here this time

Some girls last longer then others

Too few red balloons, too little time tonight



Hey, 99 days out of San Francisco

Headed for Berlin

Hey, 99 days left of California

Setting with the wind, home
