Ballyhoo Lyrics


Green Day Ballyhoo

[Verse 1: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Hurry up, hurry up, get moving
Just to fall down again
I'm looking like a jerk, looking like a jerk
And I'm feeling like a lunatic
Fuck it up, live it up, and give up
Stay-at-home wanderlust
I'm gonna lollygag in a sleeping bag
I'm as useless as a dumb and a crippled ballerina

[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong, Billie Joe Armstrong & Mike Dirnt]
Some days I'm reaching for a blade, I gotta let it go
Sometimes I'm reaching for a knife, I gotta let it go
So no hard feelings, climb the ceiling
Madness, ballyhoo
[Post-Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong & Mike Dirnt]
Hey
Yuh

[Verse 2: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Listen up, listen I've been drinking
Touched by the hand of luck
I'm waiting on the sun, waiting on the sun
Like a star that's blowing up
It's a curse, it's at worst a blessing
God and his only son
Ah, mama raised the bomb, chewing bubblegum
With a head full of trouble and a lesser main offender

[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong, Billie Joe Armstrong & Mike Dirnt]
Some days I'm reaching for a blade, I gotta let it go
Sometimes I'm reaching for a knife, I gotta let it go
So no hard feelings, climb the ceiling
Madness, ballyhoo

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong, Billie Joe Armstrong & Mike Dirnt]
Some days I'm reaching for a blade, I gotta let it go
Sometimes I'm reaching for a knife, I gotta let it go
Some days I'm reaching for a blade, I gotta let it go
Sometimes I'm reaching for a knife, I gotta let it go
So no hard feelings, climb the ceiling
Madness, ballyhoo
[Outro: Billie Joe Armstrong & Mike Dirnt]
Hey
Yuh
