"99 Red Ballons" Nina
You and I in a little toy shopBuy a bag of balloons with the money we've gotSet them free at the break of dawnTil one by one, they were goneBack at base, bugs in the softwareFlash the message, "Somethings out there"Floating in the summer sky99 red balloons go by99 red balloons floating in the summer sky Panic bells, it's a red alertThere's something here from somewhere elseThe war machine springs to lifeAnd opens up one eager eyeFocusing it in the sky99 red balloons go by99 Decision Street, where 99 ministers meetTo worry, worry, super-scurryCall the troops out in a hurryThis is what we've waiting forThis is it boys, this is warThe president is on the line99 red balloons go by99 Knights of the airRide super-high-tech jet fightersEveryone's a SilverheroEveryone's a captain KirkWith orders to idetifiyTo clarify and classifyScramble in the summer sky99 red ballons go by99 red balloons go by99 dreams I have hadIn everyone a red ballonNow it's all over and I'm standin' prettyIn this dust that was a cityIf I could find a souvenirJust to prove the world was here...And here is a red balloon I think of you and let it go99 red balloons go by
