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
