99 Red Balloons (2022)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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, sparks in the software Flash the message, "Something's out there" Floatin' in the summer sky As ninety-nine red balloons go by [Interlude] [Verse 2] Ninety-nine red balloons Floatin' in the summer sky Panic bells, it's red alert There's something here from somеwhere elsе The war machine, it springs to life Opens up one eager eye Focusin' it on the sky As ninety-nine red balloons go by [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] 99 Decision Street Ninety-nine 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 ninety-nine red balloons go by [Interlude] [Verse 4] Neunundneunzig Kriegsminister Streichholz und Benzinkanister Hielten sich füare schlaue Leute Witterten schon fette Beute Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht Mann, wer hätte das gedacht? Daß es einmal so weit kommt Wegen neunundneunzig Luftballons [Guitar Solo] Ninety-nine red balloons go by! [Outro] Ninety-nine dreams I have had In every one, a red balloon It's all over, and I'm standin' pretty In the dust that was a city If I could find a souvenir Just to prove the world was here And here it is, a red balloon I think of you, and let it go
