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 |
Ninety-nine red balloons go by Ninety-nine 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 ninety-nine red balloons go by Ninety-nine decisions treat |
Ninety-nine ministers meet |
To worry, worry, super scurry |
Call out 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 Neunundneunzig Kriegsminister |
Streichholz und Benzinkanister |
Hielten sich für 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 |
Neunundneunzig Luftballons |
Ninety-nine dreams I have had |
And every one a red balloon |
It’s all over, and I’m standing pretty |
In the dust that was a city |
I could find a souvenir |
Just to prove the world was here |
Here it is, a red balloon |
I think of you and let it go |
