Painful Irony

My first posting using Dave Winer's newest blogging tool.

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 my 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

Yeah

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

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 (Tonight I'm gonna)

So tonight we gonna (party like it's 1999)

We gonna, oww

Say it 1 more time

Two thousand zero zero party over oops,

Out of time

No, no (Tonight I'm gonna)

So tonight we gonna (party like it's 1999)

We gonna, oww

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

Yeah, yeah (Tonight I'm gonna)

So tonight we gonna (party like it's 1999)

We gonna, oww
