[00:04.13]You and I in a little toy shop
[00:07.43]buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
[00:11.12]Set them free at the break of dawn
[00:13.92]'Til one by one, they were gone
[00:17.62]Back at base, bugs in the software
[00:20.34]Flash the message, "Something's out there"
[00:24.29]Floating in the summer sky
[00:27.23]99 red balloons go by.
[00:30.61]
[01:10.78]99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
[01:15.62]Panic bells, it's red alert
[01:18.03]There's something here from somewhere else
[01:20.83]The war machine, it springs to life
[01:23.37]Opens up one eager eye
[01:25.72]Focusing it on the sky
[01:28.19]As 99 red balloons go by.
[01:31.72]
[01:40.56]99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meet
[01:45.30]To worry, worry, super-scurry
[01:47.94]Call out the troops now in a hurry
[01:50.48]This is what we've waited for
[01:52.90]This is it boys, this is war
[01:55.49]The president is on the line
[01:57.78]As 99 red balloons go by.
[02:01.36]
[02:30.15]99 knights of the air
[02:32.45]Ride super high tech jet fighters
[02:35.02]Everyone's a super hero
[02:37.80]Everyone's a Captain Kirk
[02:39.92]With orders to identify
[02:42.37]To clarify, and classify
[02:44.83]Scramble in the summer sky
[02:47.32]99 red balloons go by
[02:51.62]
[02:58.08]99 dreams I have had
[03:16.68]In every one a red balloon
[03:20.19]It's all over and I'm standing pretty
[03:23.40]In this dust that was a city
[03:26.94]If I could find a souvenir
[03:29.71]Just to prove the world was here
[03:33.51]And here is a red balloon
[03:36.93]I think of you, and let it go
