Lyrics 99 Red Balloons - Goldfinger

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
As 99 red balloons go by

99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine, it springs to life
Opens up one eager eye focusing it on the sky
As 99 red balloons go by

99 decision street
99 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 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 so weit kommt
Wegen 99 Luftballons?

99 Luftballons
