    Story Behind the Song
    The Greylocks love to cover great songs from the 80's.

    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
    '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.
    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 springs to life.
    Opens up one eager eye.
    Focusing it on the sky.
    Where 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 Knights of the air
    Ride super-high-tech jet fighters
    Everyone's a superhero.
    Everyone's a Captain Kirk.
    With orders to identify.
    To clarify and classify.
    Scramble in the summer sky.
    As 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 souvenier.
    Just to prove the world was here.
    And here is a red balloon
    I think of you and let it go.
