Grave Pleasures Lead Balloons Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the dogs we held at bay
Are chafing at the leash
You gotta turn and face the other way
Turn and face the other way

We see a devil in the mirror
We see a skeleton with a soul
We have to separate the animals
Separate the animals
[Chorus]
I try to catch them when they fall
Like black teardrops on the Earth
Lead balloons hang over us
Lead balloons hang over us
I try to catch them when they fall
Like black teardrops on the Earth
Lеad balloons hang over us
Lead balloons

[Verse 2]
It was the dеath of all our future
It was the death of '84
Heart to mouth and mouth to blood
Heart to mouth and mouth to blood

We saw the wheels fall off the wagon
We saw the last [?] grow cold
We gotta rearrange the funeral
Rearrange the funeral

[Chorus]
I try to catch them when they fall
Like black teardrops on the Earth
Lead balloons hang over us Lead balloons hang over us
I try to catch them when they fall
Like black teardrops on the Earth
Lead balloons hang over us
Lead balloons
[Bridge]
And knowing our fear
In the posture of you
Hands make the gestures
Hands make the gestures
Surrender to this
Focus of absence
Scream out the warning
Scream out the warning

[Verse 3]
All the dogs we held at bay
Are chafing at the leash
You gotta turn and face the other way
Turn and face the other way

We see a devil in the mirror
We see a skeleton with a soul
We have to separate the animals
Separate the animals

[Chorus]
I try to catch them when they fall
Like black teardrops on the Earth
Lead balloons hang over us
Lead balloons hang over us
I try to catch them when they fall
Like black teardrops on the Earth
Lead balloons hang over us
Lead balloons
[Instrumental outro]
