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
+
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
+
When ninety-nine red balloons go by
+
99 Decision 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 balloon
+
It's all over and I'm standin' 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
+
