Kinks - Loony Balloon Lyrics
The worlds spinning round like a looney balloonHeading for a collision with saturn and marsAnd were narrowly missing the man in the moon,Spinning out of control crashing into the stars.Have we all lost our gravity, reason and sanity?Is this the price that we pay?Have we now lost our way on this looney balloon?Drift away, just drift away.Its so easy to just drift away.Drift away, just drift away.Drifting away on this looney balloon.The air is running out, the computers gone down.The mechanic just panicked, hes nowhere to be found.So automatic control is just spinning us roundNo point screaming in space, you just cant hear a sound.Now the pilots gone mad, he just jumped overboardWith a lunatic smile on his faceAnd he laughed as he cut the umbilical chordNow hes drifting forever in space.Drift away, just drift away.Its so easy to just drift away.Drift away, just drift awayDrifting away on this looney balloon.Were out of control on this looney balloonNarrowly missing the planets and stars.Even optimists say that its all gloom and doom.Weve got to get somewhere or hit something soon.First class and economy, we all played the gameFor selfish profit and gain.So together well all go insane on this looney balloon.Drift away, hey, just drift away,Drifting away on this looney balloon.Drift away, hey, just drift away.Drifting away on this looney balloon.Drift away, hey,Drift away. drift away.
