Bride & Groom Hot Air Balloon Lyrics by Hop Along

Freshman Year

2005

Young couple
Is kickin' air as their burning balloon
Takes the pair up and up and up and up and up and up and up
Awful windy day...
And the young agricultural manufacturer's assistant
Slowly raises his sleepin' eyes
He opens them wide wide wide wide wide
And he stares up at the sky sky sky sky sky
And the couple cries
To ears that could not hear "We are up here!
And we are so very afraid of heights!"
That mornin' the bride said, "I think it's very clear
With my premonitions here
We were meant for a ride
In the big hot air balloon tonight."
And now she's cryin'
"Oh darlin, darlin, dear!
I'm so sorry to approach you here!
You seem terrible afeared
We won't get to see the morning sky
And I can't help but wonder why
I'm not afraid to die"
And the water's all around them, yeah
The water's all around them
Now the townsfolk had tried to help
But how?
But now the ground is miles from them
Bound for the ocean
But bound to let go sometime
And their arms are getting tired
Yeah their bones are flaked with fire
From the straining of their wires
She looks into his eyes eyes eyes eyes eyes
Says "at least we know we tried tried tried tried tried."
And the couple sighed
For years that up 'til here they both had dreamed
And so they swept their plans into the sea
She said, "We could be a pair of happy fish, she said I'll build a house in a sunken ship. Yeah
Be a pair of happy fish, we'll build a house in a sunken ship!" Now
They're a pair of happy fish, they live inside a sunken ship! Yeah
They're a pair of happy fish, they live inside a sunken ship!"
But when you let go at the same time
With the flowers all fallin' down
Let the angels and the flowers floatin around
Stand up and make themselves known now!
Letting the lovers drown
