GOLDFINGER - 99 Red Balloons lyrics

Goldfinger

99 Red Balloons

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, something's out there

Floating in the summer sky

Ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine red balloons

Floating in the summer sky

Panic bells, it's red alert

There's something here from somewhere else

The war machine springs to life

Opens up one eager eye

Focusing it on the sky

As ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine decisions treat

Ninety-nine ministers meet

To worry, worry, super scurry

Call out the troops now in a hurry

This is what we've waited for

This is it, boys, this is war

The President is on the line

As ninety-nine red balloons go by

Neunundneunzig Kriegsminister

Streichholz und Benzinkanister

Hielten sich für schlaue Leute

Witterten schon fette Beute

Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht

Mann, wer hätte das gedacht?

Daß es einmal so weit kommt

Wegen neunundneunzig Luftballons

Neunundneunzig Luftballons

Ninety-nine dreams I have had

And every one a red balloon

It's all over, and I'm standing pretty

In the dust that was a city

I could find a souvenir

Just to prove the world was here

Here it is, a red balloon

I think of you and let it go
