The booklet says:

he was a great balloon maker the balloons were never known for speed there's no way to get speed he asked me to waste some time

come out to see the sun you're all we've got but i said i think there's more of them like us and he said you might be right we'll find them in time somewhere and i had agreed yeah

he was a great balloon maker then they outlawed all balloons he packed up and put his things away he asked me to waste some time
