99 Red Balloons

99 Red Balloons - Studio 99

You and I and 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 "Some thing's out there"

Floating in the summer sky

Ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine red balloons

Floating in the summer sky

Panic lads it's a red alert

Something here from somewhere else

The war machine springs into life

Opens up one eager eye

Focusing it on the sky

Ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine Decision Street

Ninety-nine ministers meet

To worry worry super-scurry

Call the troops out in a hurry

This is what we've waiting for

This is it boys this is war

The President is on the line

As ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine knights of the air

Riding super high-tech jet fighters

Everyone's a super hero

Everyone's a Captain Kirk

With orders to identify to clarify and classify

Scrambling in the summer sky

As ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine dreams I have had

Every one a red balloon

It's all over and I'm standin' pretty

In this dust that was a city

If I could find a souvenir

Just to prove the world was here

And here is a red balloon

I think of you and let it go
