99 Red Balloons Song Lyrics by Nena
You and I in a little toy shopBuy a bag of balloons with the money we’ve gotSet them free at the break of dawn‘Til one by one, they were goneBack at base, sparks in the softwareFlash the message “Something’s out there”Floating in the summer sky99 red balloons go by
99 red balloonsFloating in the summer skyPanic bells, it’s red alertThere’s something here from somewhere elseThe war machine springs to lifeOpens up one eager eyeFocusing it on the skyThe 99 red balloons go by
99 Decision Street99 ministers meetTo worry, worry, super scurryCall the troops out in a hurryThis is what we’ve waited forThis is it boys, this is warThe President is on the lineAs 99 red balloons go by
99 knights of the airRide super high-tech jet fightersEveryone’s a superheroEveryone’s a Captain KirkWith orders to identifyTo clarify and classifyScrambling the summer sky99 red balloons go by
As 99 red balloons go by
99 dreams I have hadIn every one, a red balloonIt’s all over, and I’m standing prettyIn this dust that was a cityIf I could find a souvenirJust to prove the world was hereAnd here is a red balloonI think of you, and let it go
