99 Red Balloons Lyrics

99 Red Balloons lyrics


You and I in a little toy shop

buy a bag of balloons

with the money
we've got

Set them free at the break of dawn

'Til one by one, they were
gone

Back at base, bugs in the software

Flash the
message,

"Something's out there"

Floating in the summer sky

99 red
balloons go by.



99 red balloons

floating in the summer
sky

Panic bells, it's red alert

There's something here

from
somewhere else

The war machine springs to life

Opens up one eager
eye

Focusing it on the sky

Where 99 red balloons go by.



99
Decision Street,

99 ministers meet

To worry, worry,
super-scurry

Call the troops out in a hurry

This is what we've waited
for

This is it boys, this is war

The president is on the line

As 99
red balloons go by.



99 Knights of the air

ride super-high-tech jet
fighters

Everyone's a Silverhero

Everyone's a Captain Kirk

With
orders to identify

To clarify and classify

Scramble in the summer
sky

As 99 red balloons go by.



As 99 red balloons go
by.



99 dreams I have had

In every one a red balloon

It's all
over and I'm standin' pretty

In this dust that was a city

If I could
find a souvenier

Just to prove the world was here...

And here is a red
balloon

I think of you and let it go.
