Chinese Balloons Lyrics

Chinese balloons

Floating in a cloudless sky

Watch them all go drifting by

Far from the ground

Hardly ever make a sound

Americans will shoot them down

And if we can learn to live in peace and harmony

The world would be a better place

Happy and smiling for everyone to see

Feel the wind upon your face

We can rise up to the moon

Like Chinese balloons

Wireless headphones

Jogging over sticks and stones

Everyone is on their phones

Flames in the fire

Up among the dreaming spires

Tripping over drums and wires

And if I can learn to be a better version of

The person that I want to be

Nothing shameful in wishing for peace and love

To live in perfect harmony

Drifting out into the afternoon

Like Chinese balloons

It was an abundance of caution the reason why they shot them down

I'm not sure caution is something you can have an abundance of

Chinese balloons

Photographs of Russian goons

Playing in the sandy dunes

Baffling press release

Just another palm to grease

I don't think the war will cease

And if we can stop just for a moment to think twice

Something you will not regret

Chance is just another roll of the dice

What you give is what you get

Summer's evening light in June

Like Chinese balloons

Chinese balloons

High above the new wind farm

Clanging of the fire alarm

Stopped to read the news

Panic over guns and cruise

Diplomats will light the fuse

And if we can make sense of the world in which we live

That would be a place to start

There's no point in taking when you can give

Don't wanna tear the place apart

Sun is setting in Rangoon

For Chinese balloons
