| You and i little toy shop
|
| Buy a bag of balloons with thee 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
|
| Ninety-nine red balloons go by
|
| Ninety-nine 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 ninety-nine red balloons go by
|
| Ninety-nine decisions street
|
| Ninety-nine 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 ninety-nine red balloons go by
|
| Ninety-nine knights of the air
|
| Ride super high-tech jet fighters
|
| Everyone’s a super hero
|
| Everyone’s a captain kirk
|
| With orders to identify
|
| To clarify and classify
|
| Scramble in the summer sky
|
| Ninety-nine red balloons go by
|
| As ninety-nine red balloons go by
|
| Ninety-nine dreams i have had
|
| In every one a red ballon
|
| It’s all over and i’m standing pretty
|
| In this dust that was a city
|
| If i could find a souvenir
|
| Just to prove the world was here
|
| And here is a red ballon
|
| I think of you, and let it go |
