Loony Balloon letra

The world's spinning round like a looney balloon
Heading for a collision with saturn and mars
And we're narrowly missing the man in the moon
Spinning out of control crashing into the stars
Have we all lost our gravity, reason and sanity?
Is this the price that we pay?
Have we now lost our way on this looney balloon?

Drift away, just drift away
It's so easy to just drift away
Drift away, just drift away
Drifting away on this looney balloon

The air is running out, the computer's gone down
The mechanic just panicked, he's nowhere to be found
So automatic control is just spinning us round
No point screaming in space, you just can't hear a sound.
Now the pilot's gone mad, he just jumped overboard
With a lunatic smile on his face
And he laughed as he cut the umbilical chord
Now he's drifting forever in space

Drift away, just drift away
It's so easy to just drift away
Drift away, just drift away
Drifting away on this looney balloon
We're out of control on this looney balloon
Narrowly missing the planets and stars
Even optimists say that it's all gloom and doom
We've got to get somewhere or hit something soon
First class and economy, we all played the game
For selfish profit and gain
So together we'll all go insane on this looney balloon

Drift away, hey, just drift away
Drifting away on this looney balloon
Drift away, hey, just drift away
Drifting away on this looney balloon
Drift away, hey
Drift away. drift away
