“Pop The Balloon” is the final song of Dead Club City
It is about the residents rebelling against it after realising that it’s nowhere near the paradise they thought it was.
[Chorus]
Blow up the moon
Pop the balloon
Do it for you
Kill the Dead Club City
[Verse 1]
Eat up the clouds every night
Never really had a choice
Read the forum, says you'll die
Yours sincerely, incel boy
[Verse 2]
Find a dream to gentrify

God is quite a cute idea
[Chorus]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Blow up the moon
Pop the balloon
Do it for you
Kill the Dead Club City
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Blow up the moon
Pop the balloon
Do it for you
Kill the Dead Club City
[Verse 3]
Crypto FOMO kicking in

So good to be so online
[Chorus]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Blow up the moon
Pop the balloon
Do it for you
Kill the Dead Club City
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Blow up the moon
Pop the balloon
Do it for you
Kill the Dead Club City
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]

Yeah, who am I to say it when I play my songs for you?
[Refrain]

We're gonna shed off the weight and watch it all float away
We're gonna shed off the weight and watch it all float away
We're gonna shed off the weight and watch it all float away
We're gonna shed off the weight and watch it all float away
We're gonna shed off the weight and watch it all float away
We're gonna shed off the weight and watch it all float away
We're gonna shed off the weight and watch it all float away
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Blow up the moon
Pop the balloon
Do it for you
Kill the Dead Club City
Blow up the moon
Pop the balloon
Do it for you
Kill the Dead Club City
