| The world's spinning round like a looney balloon | |
| Heading for a collision with Saturn and Mars | |
| And we're narrowly missing the man in the moon, | |
| Spinning out of control crashing into the stars. | |
| Have we all lost our gravity, reason and sanity? | |
| Is this the price that we pay? | |
| Have we now lost our way on this looney balloon? | |
| Drift away, just drift away. | |
| It's so easy to just drift away. | |
| Drift away, just drift away. | |
| Drifting away on this looney balloon. | |
| The air is running out, the computer's gone down. | |
| The mechanic just panicked, he's nowhere to be found. | |
| So automatic control is just spinning us round | |
| No point screaming in space, you just can't hear a sound. | |
| Now the pilot's gone mad, he just jumped overboard | |
| With a lunatic smile on his face | |
| And he laughed as he cut the umbilical chord | |
| Now he's drifting forever in space. | |
| Drift away, just drift away. | |
| It's so easy to just drift away. | |
| Drift away, just drift away | |
| Drifting away on this looney balloon. | |
| We're out of control on this looney balloon | |
| Narrowly missing the planets and stars. | |
| Even optimists say that it's all gloom and doom. | |
| We've got to get somewhere or hit something soon. | |
| First class and economy, we all played the game | |
| For selfish profit and gain. | |
| So together we'll all go insane on this looney balloon. | |
| Drift away, hey, just drift away, | |
| Drifting away on this looney balloon. | |
| Drift away, hey, just drift away. | |
| Drifting away on this looney balloon. | |
| Drift away, hey, | |
| Drift away. Drift away. |
