lyrics
You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'til one by one, they were gone
Bag of base bugs in the softwear
flash the message: something's out there
floating in the summer sky
ninety nine red balloons go by
Ninety nine red balloons
floating in the summer sky
Ninety nine desisions straight
Ninety nine manesthers made
so hurry,hurry super scurry
call off the troops now in a hurry
this is what we've waited for
this is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
as ninety nine red balloons go by
Ninety nine dreams I have had
and every one a red balloon
here I am now, standing pretty
In the dust that was a city
