99 Red Balloons Lyrics - Singles - Chubs

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, "Somethings out there" 

Floating in the summer sky 

99 red balloons go by 

99 red balloons floating in the summer sky 

Panic bells, it's a red alert 

There's something here from somewhere else 

The war machine springs to life 

And opens up one eager eye 

Focusing it in the sky 

99 red balloons go by 

99 Decision Street, where 99 ministers meet 

To worry, worry, super-scurry 

Call the troops out in a hurry 

This is what we've waiting for 

This is it boys, this is war 

The president is on the line 

99 red balloons go by 

99 Knights of the air 

Ride super-high-tech jet fighters 

Everyone's a Silverhero 

Everyone's a captain Kirk 

With orders to identify 

To clarify and classify 

Scramble in the summer sky 

99 red ballons go by 

99 red balloons go by 

99 dreams I have had 

In everyone a red ballon 

Now 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 

99 red balloons go by
