7 Seconds - 99 Red Balloons lyrics

rate me

You and I in a little toy shop<br>

Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got<br>

Set them free at the break of dawn<br>

Til one by one, they were gone<br>

Back at base bugs in the software<br>

Flash the message, something's out there<br>

Floating in the summer sky<br>

99 red balloons go by<br>

<br>

99 red balloons<br>

Floating in the summer sky<br>

Panic bells it's red alert<br>

There's something here from somewhere else<br>

The war machine springs to life<br>

Opens up one eager eye<br>

Focusing it on the sky as 99 red balloons go by<br>

<br>

99 Decision street<br>

99 ministers meet<br>

To worry, worry, super scurry<br>

Call the troops out in a hurry<br>

This is what we've waited for<br>

This is it boys, this is war<br>

The president is on the line<br>

As 99 red balloons go by<br>

<br>

99 knights of the air<br>

Ride super high tech jet fighters<br>

Everyone's a super hero Everyone's a Captain Kirk<br>

With orders to identify<br>

To clarify, and classify<br>

Scramble in the summer sky<br>

99 red balloons go by<br>

<br>

99 dreams I have had In every one a red balloon<br>

It's all over and I'm standing pretty<br>

In this dust that was a city<br>

If I could find a souvenir<br>

Just to prove the world was here<br>

And here is a red balloon<br>

I think of you, and let it go<br>
