Chubs - 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, "Somethings out there"<br />

Floating in the summer sky<br />

99 red balloons go by<br />

99 red balloons floating in the summer sky<br />

Panic bells, it's a red alert<br />

There's something here from somewhere else<br />

The war machine springs to life<br />

And opens up one eager eye<br />

Focusing it in the sky<br />

99 red balloons go by<br />

99 Decision Street, where 99 ministers meet<br />

To worry, worry, super-scurry<br />

Call the troops out in a hurry<br />

This is what we've waiting for<br />

This is it boys, this is war<br />

The president is on the line<br />

99 red balloons go by<br />

99 Knights of the air<br />

Ride super-high-tech jet fighters<br />

Everyone's a Silverhero<br />

Everyone's a captain Kirk<br />

With orders to identify<br />

To clarify and classify<br />

Scramble in the summer sky<br />

99 red ballons go by<br />

99 red balloons go by<br />

99 dreams I have had<br />

In everyone a red ballon<br />

Now it's all over and I'm standin' 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 />

99 red balloons go by
