[Verse 1]
Hey man, what's your name?
I've seen your face always before
You tapped in to a cosmic vein
Got the gig I was lookin' for, yeah

[Verse 2]
Hungry, that's no drag
It's nothing that a trip won't cure
Completion is in that bag
The selfish crowd come back for more

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well I reached in the bag for a new latitude

[Chorus]
And all I got out was a black balloon
Was a black balloon

[Verse 3]
Hey babe, I'm out of the cage
Behind some glass, miles away
So sue me for being too cool
I hate myself for wanting to play

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Guess all I've to say about karma's true
[Chorus]
Because all I've got left is a black balloon

[Bridge]
Is a black balloon
Is a black balloon
Is a black balloon

[Outro]
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
