My Name Is Earl movie - 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 floating in the summer sky<br>

Panic bells, it's red alert<br>

There's something here from somewhere else<br>

The war machine, it springs to life<br>

Opens up one eager eye<br>

Focusing it on the sky<br>

As 99 red balloons go by.<br>

<br>

99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meet<br>

To worry, worry, super-scurry<br>

Call out the troops now 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 Kriegsminister<br>

Streichholz und Benzinkanister<br>

Hielten sich f schlaue Leute<br>

Witterten schon fette Beute<br>

Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht<br>

Mann, wer haette das gedacht<br>

Dass es einmal soweit kommt<br>

Wegen 99 Luftballons<br>

<br>

99 dreams I have had<br>

In every one a red balloon<br>

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

In the dust that was a city<br>

If I could find a souvenir<br>

Just to prove the world was here...<br>

And here it is, a red balloon<br>

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

<br>
