I'm a balloon, floating away I'd come back, it's just that The winds aren't blowing that way Heading south or heading north I’ve got no conception of direction So I can never be off course It seems like I'm leaving But I never touched down I just breezed in on a whim And since then, I've just bin, blowing around I'm a balloon, filled with hot air Keeps me thinking like I'm looking Like I'm getting somewhere Got to keep on moving Busy on my way I might be going around in circles Yeah yeah but what the hey Blowing through conversations Where thoughts shoot off like guns It's like watching little animations That quite honestly should have been could have been a lot more fun His and hers, yours and mine Seems like we've been blowing that game For a long, long, long time Like a run away carriage With no one holding the reigns But what you gonna do When there's really no one Really no one there to blame I'm a balloon, floating somewhere I might not know where that is But that don't mean that I don't care Gotta keep on keeping on As long as I’ve a voice to sing my song The only way to escape a lie Is to meet it head on

about

Lionel Lodge Vienna, Austria

He was born, he lived and he will die. In between he dreamed and achieved and made a lot of friends. Loved a lot, didn't hate too much except for hate and greed. Tried to help, played a lot of guitar, sang a lot and released a whole slew of cds.
