I have to take this
Kokomo is calling
I need a vacation
The shadows are talking
There is only one way there
No ticket, no plane fare
I got to get there soon
Cherry red balloon

I've run out of patience at gasoline stations
It sounds kind of sad, but true
Your lips when I inhale, kill all my brain cells
Touch me where I'm blue

Cherry red balloon
Cherry red balloon
Free when I'm with you
Throw me around the room
Cherry red balloon

Push a little closer against the wall
Give me twenty seconds before I fall
Make the heaviest things feel so small

Cherry red balloon
Cherry red balloon
Free when I'm with you
Throw me around the room
Cherry red balloon
