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, till one by one they were gone
Back at base, faxing the software, flash the message something’s out there
Floating in the summer sky, 99 red balloons go by…

99 decisions free, 99 may misters me
To worry worry super surrey, call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we’ve waited for, this is it boys this war
The president is on the line, cause 99 red balloons go by ~intro bass & drums~ 2x4

99 lights up the air, with super high tech jet fighters
Everyone’s a superhero, everyone’s with captain Kirk
With orders to identify, to clarify and classify
There’s a tremble in the summer’s sky, 99 red balloons go by ~rhythm with keyboard~ x 4
99 red balloons go by… ~music dies~
~quiet~
99 dreams I have heard, and everyone a red balloon
It’s all over and I’m standing pretty, in this dusted worldless city
If I can find a souvenir, just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon, I’ll think of you and let it go ~fade out~
PLAY TOO ..
