I really weirded out this week. I was in California all week so I didn't have much time to ponder on this. Oh well. At least it is weird! Parts of the song sound like there is a bass but it is the lower notes of the organ.

lyrics

Sitting here, in the factory
Feeling, full of gloom
Working hard, assembly line
Making black balloons

It's times like these when a man has to think
And sit right back and pour a lonely drink

Laaaa, la la la la, laaaaaa, la la la la
Laaaa, la la la la, laaaaaa, la la la

Looking back, at this life
With this gun, and this knife
Black balloons, falling down
A broken soul, will drown

Black balloons, shooting down
A broken soul will drown
