Body Electric
A kiss that makes you shiver drowns the whispers from below
You don't belong here
You always gamble everything you close your eyes and fall
Waiting for the phone to ring outside in the hall
You don't belong here
Helicopter climb so high
There's an angel on your shoulder
Does he make you feel alive
Helicopter you make me cry
I'm not strong enough to hold you
And you've got no wings to fly
You think you're indestructable
You act like a machine
An ambulance an aeroplane or something in between
You don't
99 Red Balloons
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 as 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 super hero Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify, and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
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 souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you, and let it go
