"99 Days" lyrics

She said, "I want to be the rain
I am a red balloon, I got a book of dates."
She's going to go away and leave me here tonight
Some worlds last longer then others
She's got a red balloon, she's going to be the sky
I'm going to paint my face tonight

Hey, 99 days out of San Francisco
Headed for Berlin
Hey, 99 days left of California
Headed with the wind

If I sail across the water, I'll be floating blind
Here beside the wild, monkey came alive
She's leaving me behind, it's so hard to find

She said, "I want to be a plane
I am a red balloon, I'll never be the same
And I'm gone, gone, gone on the wind."

She said, "You'll never get away
You need a red balloon, you need a better day
This time, you're headed home this time"

Some trips last longer then others, she just said, "Good-bye."
She just floats away, I'm going to die right here this time
Some girls last longer then others
Too few red balloons, too little time tonight

Hey, 99 days out of San Francisco
Headed for Berlin
Hey, 99 days left of California
Headed with the wind
