Answer
|
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 super hero
|
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
|
With orders to identify
|
To clarify, and classify
|
Scramble in the summer sky
|
99 red balloons go by
|
99 dreams I have had
|
In every one a red balloon
|
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 balloon
|
I think of you and let it go
|
