1999 (Live in Syracuse, NY, 3/30/85)

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

Everybody I want you to sing, come on
They say 2000 zero zero party over, out of time
So tonight (you say) 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

They say 2000 zero zero party over, out of time
So tonight (you say it) I'm gonna party like it's 1999
Say it one more time
2000 zero zero party over, out of time
Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999 (I go, we go)

(1999)
Somebody say nah (1999)
Everybody say nah (1999)
We could all die any day (1999)
I don't wanna die
I'd rather dance my life away (1999)
Listen to what I'm tryin' to say
Everybody, what you want to do?
(Party)
(Party)
Tell me what you want to do now?
(Party)
Raise your hands in the air, say
(Party)
Raise your hands in the air, say
(Party)
(Party)
(Party)
(Party)
(Party)
(Party)
(Party)
(Party)
(Party)

I got a lion in my pocket, y'all (party)
You know it's zero (party)
Come on, sing it!
Tell me what you want to do
Tell me what you want to do
I know y'all can sing louder, sing
There we go, one time, wreck the house
