You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
With the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone

Floating in the summer sky
"Something's out there"
99 red balloons go by.
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by
99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
99 red balloons
There's something here from somewhere else
Floating in the summer sky
The war machine springs to life
Panic bells, it's red alert
Opens up one eager eye
There's something here
Focusing it on the sky
From somewhere else
Where 99 red balloons go by.
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meet
Focusing it on the sky
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Where 99 red balloons go by
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
99 Decision Street
This is it boys, this is war
99 ministers meet
The president is on the line
To worry, worry, super-scurry
As 99 red balloons go by.
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
99 Knights of the air
This is it boys, this is war
Ride super-high-tech jet fighters
The president is on the line
Everyone's a Silverhero
As 99 red balloons go by
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
99 Knights of the airway
To clarify and classify
Ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Scramble in the summer sky
Everyone's a Silverhero
As 99 red balloons go by.
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
As 99 red balloons go by.
Scramble in the summer sky
99 dreams I have had
As 99 red balloons go by
In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
As 99 red balloons go by
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenier
99 dreams I have had
Just to prove the world was here.
In every one a red balloon
And here is a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
I think of you and let it go
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenier
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go
