[Verse 1] Down in the sewer, hear that laugh? Paint on his mouth, but the grin too bad Red balloon bobbin' by the grate You chase that float and you seal your fate Paper boat gone, little flash of white Storm drain yawns like it wants a bite I seen fear wear a yellow coat He say your name, then he cut your throat [Pre-Chorus] Run, run, feet in the muck Hear that voice, it ain't your luck One more step and the walls close in Little town, let the nightmares begin [Chorus] We don't float, we crawl We don't bow, we brawl Red balloon in the hall When he calls, we all fall We don't float, we crawl (we crawl) We don't bow, we brawl (we brawl) Red balloon in the hall When he calls, we all fall [Verse 2] Losers' Club in the attic light Bandage your bruises, bite down tight Georgie gone on the gutter line Now the whole damn town got teeth in the spine Smell that rust on the summer air Clown in the dark with a butcher stare Faces change in the bathroom glass Blink too slow and your courage pass [Pre-Chorus] Run, run, streets turn black If you look too long, it looks you back Name in your mouth, blood in your chest Face your worst, then face the rest [Chorus] We don't float, we crawl We don't bow, we brawl Red balloon in the hall When he calls, we all fall We don't float, we crawl (we crawl) We don't bow, we brawl (we brawl) Red balloon in the hall When he calls, we all fall [Bridge] Deep in the cracks where the broken hide Every dead wish got a mouth inside If the fear gets loud, let the fear get seen Seven kids in a nightmare machine [Final Chorus] We don't float, we crawl We don't bow, we brawl Red balloon in the hall When he calls, we all fall We don't float, we crawl (we crawl) We don't bow, we brawl (we brawl) Red balloon in the hall When he calls, we all fall
