Flying On Helium

See those two balloons
Flying above the treetops?
That’s me and you
a child tied us together and let us go.
Look at us,
Shining like two stars in the daytime.
And we are here
On the whim of a child on the whim of the wind on a whim.
Ohhh
We were high on hope
We were low on cash
So we live low to the ground in our happy delirium.
We were flyin' on helium
We were flyin' on helium
How many deflated balloons
Cover the floors of the oceans?
Looks like me and you
Traveled far and wide then we died
But I’ve got a hunch that we ain’t made of colored rubber and ribbon.
We are the air, the air that cannot be contained by anything.
Ohhh we were high on hope
We were low on cash
So we live low to the ground in our happy delirium
We were flying on helium
We were flying on helium
See those two balloons?
See those two balloons?
Flyin'
See those two balloons?
See those two balloons?
Flyin'
We are here on the whim of a child on the whim of the wind on a whim
We were high on hope, we were low on cash
So we live low to the ground in our happy delirium
We were flying on helium
Ohhh we were flying on helium
Flyin' on helium
Flyin' on helium
