|
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 out the troops now 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 kriegsminister |
|
Streichholz und benzinkanister |
|
Hielten sich fuer schlaue leute |
|
Witterten schon fette beute |
|
Riefen: krieg und wollten macht |
|
Mann, wer haette das gedacht |
|
Dass es einmal soweit kommt |
|
Wegen 99 luftballons |
|
99 dreams i have had |
|
In every one a red balloon |
|
It's all over and i'm standin' pretty |
|
In the dust that was a city |
|
If i could find a souvenier |
|
Just to prove the world was here... |
|
And here it is, a red balloon |
|
I think of you and let it go. |
|
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 |
|
As 99 red balloons go by. |
