about

Inspired by an experience at a recent Flaming Lips show (Bryan loves Flaming Lips, but he really does hate balloons)

lyrics

I’ve got a secret
I don’t want anyone to know
Because it makes me feel
So all alone

And if I told you
You wouldn’t look at me the same
It’s probably best if I keep it to myself

I hate balloons
There’s nothing funny about them
I hate balloons
It all started when I was five…years old

I don’t go to parties
I stay at home on New Years Eve
And try to not feel so all alone

I just have to face it
I guess that’s just how has to be
Haunted
By these latex globes of anxiety

One day
All the little Children say
They look up to the sky
Because they're filled with Helium and they
And They'll fly
One day all the little children with take the helium
And their voices will raise
and they'll raise

I hate balloons
There’s nothing funny about them
I hate balloons
It all started when I was five…years old
