Gary Numan
"1999"


I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Coulda sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple
there were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' 2 run from the destruction
U know I didn't even care

'Cuz they say two thousand 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 2 fast
But life is just a party, and parties weren't meant 2 last
War is all around us, my mind says prepare 2 fight
So if I gotta die I'm gonna listen 2 my body tonight

Yeah, they say two thousand zero zero party over
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999

Lemme tell ya somethin'
If U didn't come 2 party
don't bother knockin' on my door
I got a lion in my pocket
and baby he's ready 2 roar grrrraaaarrrrr
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

Oh, they say two thousand zero zero party over
oops out of time
We're runnin' outta time
So tonight we gonna party like it's 1999

Say it 1 more time
Two thousand zero zero party over oops
out of time
So tonight we gonna
Alright, it's 1999
You say it, 1999
1999
1999 don't stop, don't stop, say it 1 more time
Two thousand zero zero party over
oops out of time

So tonight we gonna
party like it's 1999
we gonna, oww
Yeah, 1999
Don'tcha wanna go
Don'tcha wanna go
We could all die any day
I don't wanna die
I'd rather dance my life away
Listen 2 what I'm tryin' 2 say
Everybody, everybody say party
C'mon now, U say party

Can't run from the revelation, no
