Now when I was born, Dad said to me son you must never fearThings people say, things that they do, things that they never hearThey can be so unkind, they can poison your mindSomeday you might end up like meAll of his plans, all of his schemes, meant to enlighten meSearching for storms and weather balloons,That never frightened meTill he took to the air on a wing and a prayerand he told the whole world it was meOver the hills and trees,Oh tell me, please this gust of wind won't disappearFurther with every mile and all the whileI can see my house from hereSee them down there running around like their ant hill was just kicked inThe media scurry like rats through the town in a race they will never winBut up here I'm free, no one can get to meunless these old rafters cave inThen everyone will seeOh please tell me that gravity won't interfereAbove this garage floor and through the doorI can see my house from hereSongtexteMom starts to scream, Dad starts to shoutHow long will it take till they both figure out?I'm through with this game I don't want to playPlease let this stupid balloon drift awayJust lift me up, off of the groundSpin like a big floating merry-go- roundFlashing red lights following meSirens that seem like a calliopeNow copters and cameras and satellites beamthe images over an internet streamThey told the authorities I was up theretill it gently touched down without moments to spareI don't want to be on TVI don't want Wolf Blitzer to interview meThe story was flimsy and not very clearI was in the garage, I see my house from here Aus Songtexte Mania
