Nena - 99 Red Balloons lyrics

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 they float up! Till 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 ur cat down there 99 red balloons floating in the summer sky Panicked birds, it's red alert There's something there from somewhere else The war machine springs to life Opens up one eager eye Focuses it on the sky 99 red balloons go by 99 decisions treaty, 99 ministers meets 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 99 red balloons go by 99 knights of the air ride Super hi-tech jet fighters Everyone's a super hero Everyone's a captain kirk With orders to identify To clarify and cla**ify Scramble in the summer sky 99 red balloons go by 99 dreams I have had And every one a red balloon It's all over and I'm standing pretty In this dust that was a city 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...
