Lyrics:
Silver Lining Lead Balloons
There’s no use crying
when you’re alone at night
There’s no use crying when you’re at home in daylight
There’s no use crying over milk
that’s spilt
It’s time for a change and change can
choke you up or cheer
Silver lining lead balloons,
Press release and whistle tunes,
That keep you going,
Through the pain,
Time to think,
Is time to gain.
There’s no use lying when you’ve got
Mud on your face,
There’s no use lying down
when life’s at pace,
There’s no use lining all your dreams
with silver,
For silver lined clouds look much like lead balloons,
Silver lining lead balloons,
Press release and whistle tunes,
That keep you going,
Through the pain,
Time to think,
Is time to gain,
There’s no use having second thoughts,
Or thirds,
The fourth and fifth dimensions are usually for the birds,
In six and sevens come the wonder eighth,
A distant chime begins
A countdown into space
Silver lining lead balloons
Press release and whistle tunes
That keep you going through the pain
Time to think
Is time to gain
Silver lining lead balloons
Press release and change the tunes,
I left my dreams,
In a rental car,
Live for now,
And dream afar.
