Birthday Balloon Lyrics by Tom Billington

Make No Bones

2010

One, two, three...
You know and I know
We've come a long way
And you go where I go --
Or so I thought so before
This little ship hit the shore
If you will, then I will
Uncross your fingers
Honest, I promise
Tie your tooth to the door;
It won't hurt anymore
Will we fall
Or will we fly? (will we fly?)
Somebody save me (Somebody save me)
And wave me (And wave me)
Goodbye. (Goodbye.)
You are the sting in my tail
You are the ringing in my ear
You are the string to my
Birthday balloon
And I went and let myself down
For now and forever, (Ooh-)
I love you truly. (ooh)
Trust me: (Ooh-ooh)
I am a doctor of sorts. (Ooh-ooh)
You've really been in the wars. (Ooh-ooh...)
Will we fall, (Ooh-ooh)
Or will we fly? (Ooh-ooh)
Somebody save me (Ooh-ooh)
And wave me (Ooh-ooh)
Goodbye. (Ooh-ooh...)
I cross my heart and I hope to die --
I swear on my best friend's life --
You are the string to my
Birthday balloon
And I went and let myself down
(You are the sting in my tail.)
(You are the ringing in my ears.)
(You are the singer.)
(You are the song.)
(You are the spring that keeps me)
You are the string... (ticking along.)
(You are the sting in my tail.)
The sting in my
Tail... (You are the ringing in my ears.)
The ringing in my
Ears... (You are the singer.)
(You are the song.)
Bye... (You are the spring that keeps me)
(Ticking along.)
You are the love of my little life!
I am a dancer in the waves!
I am the sunshine!
I am the moon!
I am a bear in a cage!
You are the sting in my tail
You are the ringing in my ear. (You are the ringing in my ears.)
(You are the singer.)
(You are the song.)
You are...
(You are the spring that keeps me)
(Ticking along.)
(You are the sting in my)
You are the sting... (tail.)
(You are the ringing in my ears.)
The ringing in my
Ears... (You are the singer.)
(You are the song.)
You are
(You are the spring that keeps)
The spring that keeps me ticking along... (me ticking along.)
(You are the sting in my) ((How))
(Tail.) ((In this life))
(You are the ringing in my)
(Ears.) (([???]))
The ringing in my
Ears... (You are the singer.) (([???]))
(You are the song.) (([???]))
(You are the spring that keeps me) (([???]))
(Ticking along.) ((you?))
Cross my heart and I hope (You are the sting in my) ((How))
To die -- (tail.) ((In this life))
I swear on my best friend's life -- (You are the ringing in my)
(Ears.) (([???]))
You are the string to my (You are the singer.) (([???]))
Birthday balloon, (You are the song.) (([???]))
And I went and let myself down. (You are the spring that keeps me) (([???]))
(Ticking along.) ((you?))
I cross my heart and I hope (You are the sting in my) ((How))
To die -- (tail.) ((In this life))
I swear on my best friend's [car???] -- (You are the ringing in my)
(Ears.) (([???]))
You are the string to my (You are the singer.) (([???]))
Birthday balloon, (You are the song.) (([???]))
And I went and let myself down. (You are the spring that keeps me) (([???]))
(Ticking along.) ((you?))
