I'm an expansive, blown up balloon    But my swollen bag contains only gloom    With my last exhalation i sing a dismal tune    I am a big balloon   I am a big balloon    I am a big balloon       I'm a flutterring helium balloon    I will rise up in the air this afternoon    Tonight I'll cause an eclipse of the moon    I am a big balloon    I am a big balloon       You blew me up    You had me punctured    You mended me    Refilled me    Administered   Artificial respiration to me    Now i've forgotten how to breath by myself    I've still got my valve in your mouth, oh   I am a big balloon.   I am a big balloon.      I'm a flexible, pliable balloon    With a constantly extended volume    I think I'll explode very very soon    I am a big balloon    I am a big balloon       I'm a hollow, straved balloon    Within me there's a reverberant, empty room    So you have already left me, I assume    I am a big balloon.   I am a big balloon.      You blew me up    You had me punctured    You mended me    Refilled me    Administered   Artificial respiration to me    Now i've forgotten how to breath by myself    I've still got my valve in your mouth   I am a big balloon.   I am a big balloon.
