Local Natives – Black Balloons lyrics
I can see
Th words as they come out of your mouth
Black balloons
Fall into a poison cloud

Hold me down
And bring me back up again
Until I can't
I can't tell the difference

Circling
Vultures always overhead
Force your hand
And every day is life or death

Hold me down
And bring me back up again
Until I can't
I can't tell the difference

Now you've changed your name
Do they still ask you twice?

I look on
Red lights flashing for applause
Play your part
Swear you're who you say you are
You hold me down
And bring me back up again
Until I can't
I can't tell the difference
