1999 (Live at Masonic Hall, Detroit, MI, 11/30/1982 - Late Show)

I was dreamin' when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray

But when I woke up this morning, could've sworn it was judgement day

The sky was all purple, there were people runnin' everywhere

Tryin' to run from the destruction, you know I didn't even care

'Cause they say

Two thousand zero zero, party over, oops, outta time

So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999

I was dreamin' when I wrote this, so sue me if I go to 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

Two thousand zero zero, party over, oops, outta time

So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999

Yeah

People, let me tell you something

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

Everybody's got a bomb, we could all die any day

But before I'll let that happen, I'll dance my life away

They say

Two thousand zero zero, party over, oops, outta time

Runnin' outta time

So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999

I said say it one more time

Two thousand zero zero, party over, oops, outta time

So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999 (We gonna, we gonna, woo)

1999

Don't you wanna go?

1999

Don't you wanna go?

1999

We could all die any day

(1999)

I don't wanna die, I'd rather dance my life away

(1999)
