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

As 99 red balloons go by



99 Division 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 superhero

Everyone's a Captain Kirk

With orders to identify

To clarify and classify

Scramble in the summer sky

As 99 red balloons go by



99 dreams I have had, each of them a red balloon

Now its all over and I'm standing pretty,

in the dust that was a city

If i could find a soviner just to prove the world was here.

Here it is a red balloon I think of you and let it go
