7 Seconds - 99 Red Balloons

7 Seconds - 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 as 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 knights of the air


Ride super high tech jet fighters


Everyone's a super hero Everyone's a Captain Kirk


With orders to identify


To clarify, and classify


Scramble in the summer sky


99 red balloons go by





99 dreams I have had In every one a red balloon


It's all over and I'm standing pretty


In this dust that was a city


If I could find a souvenir


Just to prove the world was here


And here is a red balloon


I think of you, and let it go
