Balloons Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a thing called
There's this thing called
We fly balloons on this fuel called
We fly balloons on this fuel called love
Why don't you take a chair?
What's a fuel called?
Fair weather storms are in your head
Fair weather storms are in your head
[Chorus]
We fly balloons on this fuel called love
We fly balloons on this fuel called love
We fly balloons on this fuel called
We fly balloons on this fuel called love
[Bridge]
There's a thing called
There's a thing called
There's a thing called
There's a thing called
There's a thing called
There's a thing called
There's a thing called
There's a thing called
[Chorus]
We fly balloons on this fuel called love
We fly balloons on this fuel called love
We fly balloons on this fuel called
We fly balloons on this fuel called love
We fly balloons on this fuel called love
We fly balloons on this fuel called love
We fly balloons on this fuel called
We fly balloons on this fuel called love

What did Foals say about "Balloons"?
In an interview for The AU Review, Walter Gervers picked Balloons as his favorite song “playing wise and recording wise”:
it’s one of those things that totally changed in the studio and came out of something very, very different, so it had that sort of excitement to it.
