Spacebridge/NBRL-002: 99^0 Red Balloons

You and I in a little hacker spot

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

Ninety-nine⁰ red balloons go by
