[00:07.24]You and I in a little toy shop
[00:11.23]Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
[00:15.55]Set them free at the break of dawn
[00:19.46]'Til one by one they were gone
[00:24.69]Back at base bugs in the software
[00:28.90]Flash the message "something's out there!"
[00:36.54]Floating in the summer sky
[00:42.49]Ninety-nine red balloons go by
[01:18.29]Ninety-nine red balloons
[01:21.90]Floating in the summer sky
[01:25.85]Panic bells, it's red alert
[01:29.76]There's something here from somewhere else
[01:33.85]The war machine springs to life
[01:37.80]Opens up one eager eye
[01:41.76]Focusing it on the sky
[01:45.75]Where ninety-nine red balloons go by
[01:57.87]Ninety-nine decision street
[02:01.64]Ninety-nine ministers meet
[02:05.64]To worry, worry, super scurry
[02:09.59]Call the troops out in a hurry
[02:13.59]This is what we've waited for
[02:17.64]This is it, boys, this is war
[02:21.58]The president is on the line
[02:25.57]As ninety-nine red balloons go by
[02:37.58]Ninety-nine knights of the air
[02:41.43]Ride super high-tech jet fighters
[02:45.43]Everyone's a super hero
[02:49.42]Everyone's a captain Kirk
[02:53.50]With orders to identify
[02:57.39]To clarify and classify
[03:01.38]Scramble in the summer sky
[03:06.19]As ninety-nine red balloons go
[03:12.23]Ninety-nine dreams I have had
[03:16.36]In every one a red balloon
[03:21.00]It's all over and I'm standing pretty
[03:25.28]In this dust that was a city
[03:29.72]If I could find a souvenir
[03:34.06]Just to prove the world was here
[03:38.69]And here is a red balloon
[03:42.78]I think of you, and let it go
