99 RED BALLOONS
FLOATING IN THE SUMMER SKY

Panic bells says RED ALERT
THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE!

THE WAR MACHINE, SPRINGS TO LIFE;
Opens up one eager eye, focusing it on the sky:

99 RED BALLOONS GO BY.

(breakdown)

99 Knights of the air
Ride super High-Tech jetfighters

Everyone's a superhero
Everyone's a Cap'n Kirk

With orders to identify, to clarify and classify

Scramble in the summer sky
99 RED BALLOONS GO BY~!!
