99 Red Balloons

99 Red Balloons (99個紅氣球) - The Hit Co. (熱歌公司)

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

99 red balloons go by

99 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

Where 99 red balloons go by

99 Decision Street

99 ministers meet

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-high-tech jet fighters

Everyone's a super hero

Everyone's a Captain Kirk

With orders to identify

To clarify and classify

Scramble in the summer sky

99 red balloons go by

As 99 red balloons go by

99 dreams I have had

In every one a red balloon

It's all over and I'm standing pretty

In this dust that was a city

If 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
