Though only five-foot four, you could see he was the man among men
 
 Kickin' me to the floor and his eyes would only water
 
 Thankin' one once again you could hear him saying in that order now
 
 Ease him while you can, start pickin' what you oughta 
 
  
  Some say he's a little crazy
 
 'Bad Smell' is passing by
 
 Maybe he's living in a haze
 
 But you should see that boy fly
  
 
 Standing not far away, you could see him with a finger up his nose
 
 Can't bring myself to say what he's doing with the other
 
 Twice in the afternoon he would come out with his head up in a cloud
 
 Selling hot-air balloons to the people who could bother
  
 
 His smile would send you senses reeling
 
 From your toe jump to your head
 
 And his breath would guarantee your soul
 
 That you would rather be dead
  
 
 Though he may seem a little crazy
 
 Distasteful to your eye
 
 He may be living in a haze
 
 But you should see that boy fly
  
 
 Some said he's a little crazy
 
 'Bad Smell' is passing by
 
 He'll change the expression on your face
 
 When you just see that boy fly...
  
 
 For you I would change the day
 
 Wrap it up and take it all away
 
 Give the night to the morning
 
 Let it ride on into the sky
  
 
 You know you just came to see
 
 Not what was right, but what was wrong with me
 
 And I got strength from your feeling
 
 When you smiled you'd pass me on by
  
 
 Come on back, come on back
 
 Lord knows I got a lack
 
 Only when you come, you know that we'll be one
 
 So come... back
  
 
 With you, all the world would be
 
 So small that you could hardly see
 
 The amount of confusion
 
 Leading all who'll pass life on by
  
 
 Some time when you're feeling low
 
 We can take the time to get up and go
 
 From this world to another
 
 By balloon I'll take you there, so...
  
 
 Come on back, come on back
 
 Lord knows I got a lack
 
 Only when you come, you know that we'll be one
 
 So come... back
