Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got

Set them free at the break of dawn

Till 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 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

Here it is a red balloon

I think of you, and let it go
