Heavy Balloon

[Verse 1] People like us, we play with a heavy balloon Keep it up to keep the devil at bay but it always falls way too soon People like us, we play with a heavy balloon We keep it up to keep the devil at bay but it always falls way too soon People like us, we play with a heavy balloon We keep it up to keep the devil at bay but it always falls way too soon [Chorus] I spread like strawberries! I climb like peas and beans! I've been sucking it in so long That I'm busting at the seams I spread like strawberries! I climb like peas and beans! I've been sucking it in so long That I'm busting at the seams [Verse 2] In the middle of the day, it's like the sun But the Sahara one, staring me down Forcing all forms of life inside of me to retreat underground It grows relentless like the teeth of a rat It's just got to keep gnawing at me And it constricts like a ball on a hose, nothing flows So the pressure grows instead of the sea [Verse 3] People like us get so heavy and so lost sometimes So lost and so heavy that the bottom is the only place that we can find We get dragged down, down to the same spot enough times in a row The bottom begins to feel like the only safe place that you know [Hook] But you know what? [Chorus] I spread like strawberries! I climb like peas and beans! I've been sucking it in so long That I'm busting at the seams I spread like strawberries! I climb like peas and beans! I've been sucking it in so long That I'm busting at the seams [Outro] (I spread like strawberries) (I climb like peas and beans) (I spread like strawberries) (I climb like peas and beans) (I spread like strawberries) (I climb like peas and beans) (I spread like strawberries) (I climb like peas and beans)
