Lyrics:
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
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 red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic, lads! 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
While 99 red balloons go by
99 Decision Street, 99 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 99 red balloons go by
99 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 soweit kommt
Wegen 99 Luftballons
Wegen 99 Luft Balloons
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
I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go...
