    Story Behind the Song
    One of our best-liked live numbers. The movie referred to at the end is 'Le Ballon Rouge' (The Red Balloon), the dialog free short by Albert Lamorisse, which we were fed pretty much annually in elementary school, and one of the very few things I genuinely appreciated about elementary school. I wonder if they still show it. I wonder whatever DID happen to that kid, after he sailed into the sky carried by all the sympathetic escapee helium balloons of Paris.

    Lyrics
    THE RED BUBBLE

    Last night, I got home with blood on my hands
    My own
    I did the dishes...
    for once...

    This small dishwashing liquid bubble
    captured my attention as it rose slowly into the air
    It seemed to beckon with it's
    swirling colors and all
    It left the kitchen and I followed
    It seemed to wanna
    Take me somewhere

    Down the hallway
    Past the bathroom
    The living room
    That's where ya do your living

    As we past a window I noticed that it became
    A miniature reflection of the entire night time sky

    It was like a bug or something exploring the house
    I started seeing things from a whole new perspective
    Kept getting closer and closer and more entranced

    At one point I just breathed in a little too deeply and
    PSHHHT!
    Straight into my head

    Do you remember that movie they used to show in school
    The Red Balloon?
    Whatever happened to that kid?
