Lyrics

[00:02.25]
[00:07.89] Misty when you want to hit those wedding bells
[00:11.32] You should stop yourself
[00:12.88] You should see yourself angry
[00:15.14] Screaming to the ceiling girl
[00:16.89] You look like hell
[00:18.33] But when riding pills we get heavenly
[00:22.10] On a balcony
[00:24.66]
[00:30.10] And baby's not a wreck on the wayside yet
[00:33.15] Although she stuck out
[00:34.84] Her neck to see how dark she could take it
[00:37.76] The wind is wild Why the spray is wet
[00:40.63] And a heart gets high as a heart can get
[00:44.15] On a balcony high above the sea
[00:55.25]
[01:00.14] You are the woman on some Firefall
[01:02.62] Do you wanna ball on that brilliant beach
[01:06.87] So hard I thought I hear my future daughter call
[01:10.42] Through the static wall of a flashing dream
[01:13.86] And it's a wild weaving ride to the sea
[01:17.64] Little demon believe it from me
[01:22.35] They say that you're living off something-and-soda
[01:25.48] Some fine wine from 1983 They say you're a fantasy
[01:42.34]
[01:54.80] Clap like a comma Hear the sentence sing
[01:57.60] Hear the whole world ring
[01:59.48] Hey it's bursting with bravery
[02:02.01] And Misty when it's whittled
[02:03.27] Down to just one thing it amazes me
[02:06.95] That simplicity
[02:09.13] I wandered through the supermarket like a slumming king And the sun
[02:13.51] It stings Hell I hadn't seen the sun for weeks
[02:16.92] When we finally walk away from everything on our own four feet
[02:21.93] I hear you call my name from a balcony I hear you call my name I hear you call my name from a balcony
[02:51.82] And I like the way you say it
