Thought Balloon - Fishboy

When the trial

Started Monday

I decided

To represent myself

They called it on TV, «the trial of the century»

It was covered endlessly for months

And months on end I tried to defend

All the actions I had made

When the jury

Found me guilty

They said «lock him up

And throw away the key

His songs are out of tune

And ghosts are only thought balloons

And never talking parachutes at all»

And all the while

All I could do is smile

'Cause I knew things would

Never be the same

'Cause the best part

Is knowing that I finally fixed my broke heart

Knowing that I get to make a new start

Even if it’s in jail

It wasn’t easy

But no one ever told me that it would

Now I gotta say that I am relieved

Relieved even though I failed

Oh yeah I failed

So I said goodbye

To my family

The friends I

Made on the way

I said «don't cry

Oh believe me

I am in a

Better place»

They laughed in disbelief

And asked what did I mean

I told them that the best was yet to come

'Cause the best part

Is knowing that I finally fixed my broke heart

Knowing that I get to make a new start

Even if it’s in jail

It wasn’t easy

But no one ever told me that it would

Now I gotta say that I am relieved

Relieved even though I failed

Oh yeah I failed

Buddy showed up and apologized he said

«Maybe saving Texas was a little over-hyped

But don’t worry we’ll meet again someday»

And the best part

Is knowing that I finally fixed my broke heart

Knowing that I get to make a new start

Even if it’s in jail

It wasn’t easy

But no one ever told me that it would

Now I gotta say that I am relieved

Relieved even though I failed

Oh yeah I failed

Oh yeah I failed
