Do you have some time for me
_____
I'll sing a song for you
_____
About ninety-nine balloons
_____
On their way to the horizon
_____
Maybe you're thinking of me right now
_____
I'll sing a song for you
_____
About ninety-nine balloons
_____
And that stuff like this comes of that
_____
Were taken for UFOs from space
A fighter squadron after them
_____
To sound the alarm if that was so
_____
Yet there on the horizon
_____
Only ninety-nine balloons
_____
Each was a mighty warrior
_____
They thought they're Captain Kirk
_____
There was a huge firework
_____
The neighbors didn't get a thing
_____
And felt provoked right away
_____
Meanwhile they shot at the horizon
_____
At ninety-nine balloons
Ninety-nine war ministers
_____
Matches and gasoline cans
_____
Thought they're clever people
_____
Already sniffed out fat loot
_____
Cried for war and wanted power
Man, who would've thought
_____
That it'd ever come to this
_____
Over ninety-nine balloons
_____
Over ninety-nine balloons
_____
Ninety-nine years of war
_____
Left no room for winners
_____
There're no war ministers anymore
_____
And no jet fighters either
_____
Today I make my rounds
_____
I see the world in ruins
_____
Think of you and let it fly
