Chubs 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, "Somethings out there" Floating in the summer sky 99 red balloons go by 99 red balloons floating in the summer sky Panic bells, it's a red alert There's something here from somewhere else The war machine springs to life And opens up one eager eye Focusing it in the sky 99 red balloons go by 99 Decision Street, where 99 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 99 red balloons go by 99 Knights of the air Ride super-high-tech jet fighters Everyone's a Silverhero Everyone's a captain Kirk With orders to identify To clarify and classify Scramble in the summer sky 99 red ballons go by 99 red balloons go by 99 dreams I have had In everyone a red ballon Now 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 99 red balloons go by
