A Balloon for Berties Party by Cardiacs Lyrics

You run when you're called
You pretend not to hear
Convinient that this saves you coming here
You come in here
You're afraid of us though we've done nothing to you
When we call, you go running to

Hide in your dark room, in your dark room
Hide in your dark room, in your dark room
Hide in your dark room, in your dark room
Hide in your dark room, in your dark room

I can see you where you're hiding
I can see you where you're hiding
I can see you where you're hiding

You seem buried in your ways
Now I can see what it is that makes seem as though as if it's here to stay
Maybe if I close the door more permanently than before he'll change his ways

When all is quiet and asleep, I might just slip away
And when they find that I am gone, I wonder what they'll say
When all is quiet and asleep, I might just slip away
And when they find that I am gone, I wonder what they'll say

You run when you're called
You pretend not to hear
Convinient that this saves you coming here
You come in here
You're afraid of us though we've done nothing to you
When we call, you go running to

Hide in your dark room, in your dark room
Hide in your dark room, in your dark room
Hide in your dark room, in your dark room
Hide in your dark room, in your dark room

It's much better in here when you close the door
That's in the dark and out the light
It's better than before

Things become much clearer when the curtains close and lights withdraw
Makes things much clearer than before

I can see you where you're hiding
I can see you
See you, though you're not really there
Things become much clearer when the curtains close and lights withdraw
Makes things much clearer than before

Will you hear me when I ask you why when you lock the door and hide the key you seem much happier than me?
