1999 (7" Stereo Edit) Lyrics

I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this morning
I coulda sworn it was Judgment Day

The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' to run from my destruction
You know I didn't even care

'Cause they say
2000, zero, zero, party over
Oops, out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999

I was dreamin' when I wrote this
So sue me if I go too fast
But life is just a party
And parties weren't meant to last

War is all around us
My mind says, "Prepare to fight"
So if I gotta die
I'm gonna listen to my body tonight, yeah

They say
2000, zero, zero, party over
Oops, out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999, yeah, yeah

Let me tell ya somethin'
If you didn't come to party
Don't bother knockin' on my door
I got a lion in my pocket
And baby, he's ready to roar, yeah, yeah

Everybody's got a bomb
We could all die any day, oh
But before I'll let that happen
I'll dance my life away, oh

They say
2000, zero, zero, party over
Oops, out of time
We're runnin' outta time
So tonight (tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999), we're gonna, we're gonna, ow
Say it one more time

2000, zero, zero, party over
Oops, out of time, yeah, yeah
So tonight (tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999), we're gonna, we're gonna, whoa!

Yeah, 1999
Don'tcha wanna go? 1999
Don'tcha wanna go? 1999
We could all die any day, 1999
