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

Where 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 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 standing 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

Hah!!

99 Luftballons, idiot
