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
 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
 As 99 red balloons go by
 ♪
 99 decision street
 99 ministers meet
 To 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 superhero
 And everyone's a captain Kirk
 With orders to identify
 To clarify and classify
 Scramble in the summer sky
 As 99 red balloons go
 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 souvenir
 Just to prove the world was here
 And here is a red balloon
 I think of you, I'll let it go
