 Three Balloons and a Trapdoor
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 By SANDBOX  ---  From: Bionic
 Hey everyone!  This is my first tab and I'm proud of it.  I figured
 this song out a few years ago after I saw Sandbox live when they
 were on tour with the Barenaked Ladies... Saw that this wasn't up
 on the OLGA so I figured this song would be a good place to start
 my tab writing ;)

 LYRICS
 ~~~~~~
 
 [riff one]
         There's a feeling I've been misplaced
         But my soul is safely riding three balloons
         Here's a shelter of the magic kind
         Where falseness is a passion you won't find
 
 [riff two]
         I'm breathing fog but I don't mind
         My body has no sense of time
         I'm hearing sounds I can't explain
         All I can do is fly away
 
 [riff one]
         Can a vision fall short of dreams
         There's a downy angel crouching at my feet
         Illusions fill my sleeping head and
         Dreams fade like a runway strip on fire
 
 [riff three]
         Angels never show you trapdoors
         But they don't lie
         Angels never show you trapdoors
         Until illusions die away
 
 [riff one]
         A Sunday smile falls from my face
         I can't persuade in worlds I cannot stay
         Gracious blood flows through my veins
         But my soul would favor riding three balloons
 
 [riff two]
         A fearless space of touch and time
         Where everything is genuine
         My fingers grasp but I can't stay
         All I can do is fly away...
