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 (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, it springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
99 red balloons go by (red balloons go by)
99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call out the troops now in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
99 red balloons go by (red balloons go by)
99 knights of the air
Riding super high tech jet fighters
Everyone's a super hero
Yeah everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
Clarify, and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by, 99 red balloons go by
99 dreams I've had
Everyone's a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In the dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here...
Here it is, a red balloon
I think of you and let it go (go, go go...)
99 red balloons go by (red balloons go by)
