1999 (Live in Syracuse, NY, 3/30/85)
[Verse 1: Wendy & Lisa, Prince & Brown Mark, Prince, All]
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
Tried' to run from the destruction
You know I didn't even care
(Anybody wanna sing? C'mon
'Cause they say)
[Chorus: Prince & The Revolution]
Two-thousand zero-zero, party over, oops, out of time
So tonight.. (You sing!)
I'm gonna party like it's 1999
[Verse 2: Wendy & Lisa, Prince & Brown Mark, Prince, All]
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
[Chorus: Prince & The Revolution]
Two-thousand zero-zero, party over, oops, out of time
So tonight (You sing!)
I'm gonna party like it's 1999
Say it one more time
Two-thousdand zero-zero, party over, oops, out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
(I'm gonna, we gonna)
1999
Somebody, 1999
Everybody say now, 1999
[Outro: Prince, Lisa, Prince and Lisa, All]
I don't wanna die (1999)
I'd rather dance my life away (1999)
Listen to what I'm tryin' to say
Everybody, whatchu wanna do? ("Party")
("Party")
Tell me what you want to do ("Party")
Raise your hand in the air, say ("Party")
Raise your hand in the air, say ("Party")
"Party"
"Party"
"Party"
"Party"
"Party"
"Party"
"Party"
"Party"
Got a lion in my pocket mama y'all, "Party"
You know he's ready to roar "Party"
Ah
C'mon, sing it!
Tell me whatchu gonna do?
Tell me whatchu wanna do?
I know y'all can sing louder, sing!
There you go, one time
Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?
Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?
Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?
Boom!
