Bride and Groom

Young couple
Is kicking air as their burning balloon
Takes the pair up and up and up and up and up and up and up
Awful windy day

And the young agricultural manufacturer's assistant
Slowly raises his sleeping eyes
He opens them wide, wide, wide, wide
And he stares up at the sky, sky, sky, sky
And the couple cried
To ears that could not hear
They were up here
"And we are so very afraid of heights!"

That morning the bride said
"I think it's very clear, wiht my
Premonitions here, dear
We were meant for a ride
In the big hot air balloon tonight"
And now she's crying
"Oh, darling, darling, dear
I'm so sorry to have brought you here
You seem terrible afeared
We won't get to see the morning sky
And I can't help but wonder why
I'm not afraid to die"
(That's a lie)

And the water's all around them, now
The water's all around them, now
Townsfolk had tried to help, but how?
And now the ground is miles from them
Bound for the ocean
Bound to let go sometime

And their arms are getting tired
Yeah, their bones are flaked with fire
From the straining of their wires
She looks into his eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes
Says, "At least we know we tried, tried, tried, tried"
And the couple sighed
For years that up till here, they both had dreamed
And so they swept their plans into the sea

And she said, "We could be a pair of happy fish, we'll build a house in a sunken ship
We'll be a pair of happy fish, we'll build a house in a sunken ship," now
They're a pair of happy fish, they live inside a sunken ship, now
They're a pair of happy fish, they live inside a sunken ship
It goes to show when you

Let go at the same time
With the flowers all falling down
Let the angels and the flowers floating around
Stand up and make themselves go down for
Letting the lovers drown, drown, drown, drown
Drown, drown, drown, drown
Drown, drown, drown
Oh, let the lovers drown
Without a sound
