99 Red Balloons
You and I in a little toy shopBuy a bag of balloons with the money we've gotSet them free at the break of dawn'till one by one they were goneBack at base, bugs in the softwareFlash the message something's out thereFloating in the summer skyNinety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety nine red balloonsFloating in the summer skyPanic bells, it's red alertThere's something here from somewhere elseThe war machine springs to lifeOpens up one eager eyeAnd focusing it on the skyThe ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine decisions treatNinety-nine ministers meetTo worry, worry, super scurryCall the troops out in a hurryThis is what we've waited forThis is it boys, this is warThe President is on the lineAs ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine knights of the airRide super high-tech jet fightersEveryone's a super heroEveryone's a Captain KirkWith orders to identifyTo clarify and classifyScramble in the summer skyNinety-nine red balloons go by
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine dreams I have hadIn every one a red balloonIt's all over and I'm standing prettyIn this dust that was a cityIf i could find a souvenirJust to prove the world was hereAnd here is a red balloonI think of you and let it go
