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

[Instrumental Interlude]

99 Knights of the air ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a Silverhero, everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify, to clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky as 99 red balloons go by
As 99 red balloons go by

99 dreams I have had, in every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty, in this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenier just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon I think of you and let it go
