Intro/ Vs-
You and I in a little toy shop,
buy a bag of balloons with the money weve got
Set them free at the break of dawn,
till one by one they were gone
Back at base, faxing the software,
flash the message somethings out there
Floating in the summer sky,
99 red balloons go by
Bass intro
99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
Panic bell, its red alert theres something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life, opens up ones eager eyes
Focusing in on the sky, 99 red balloons go by
99 decisions free, 99 may misters me
To worry worry super surrey, call the troops out in a hurry
This is what weve waited for, this is it boys this war
The president is on the line, cause 99 red balloons go by
99 lights up the air, with super high tech jet fighters
Everyones a superhero, everyones with captain Kirk
With orders to identify, to clarify and classify
Theres a tremble in the summers sky, 99 red balloons go by
99 red balloons go by
99 dreams I have heard, and everyone a red balloon
Its all over and Im standing pretty, in this dusted worldless city
If I can find a souvenir, just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon, Ill think of you and let it go ~fade out~
