Lyrics
99
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hot, strong, young and dumb
Yeah, we had no fear
Way back when we said
We'd both be millionaires
Now those days are over
And we are all ghosts
We used to sleep all day and talk all night
Stay up by the TV light (oh, oh)
When your baby teeth ain't milky white
Wipe the stardust from your eyes (oh, oh)
I said: Oh come on love, we'll be just fine
We're gonna live just like it's 1999
In 1990
In 1999
In 1990
In 1999
Back then we were trading
Cards behind the swing
Oh no, now its money, gold
And diamond rings
Now those days are over
And we are all ghosts
We used to sleep all day and talk all night
Stay up by the TV light (oh, oh)
When your baby teeth ain't milky white
Wipe the stardust from your eyes (oh, oh)
I said: Oh come on love, we'll be just fine
We're gonna live just like it's 1999
In 1990
In 1999
In 1990
In 1999
Oh, oh no, where does it go?
Will we ever fill your body up with chemicals
Oh, oh no, kaleidoscope
But whatever living better in
In 1990
In 1999
In 1990
In 1999
Nintendo, Atari
Sega's my Ferrari
I got it, I love it, I, I
In 1990
Sony electronics
Voodoo economics
I got it, I love it, I, I
In 1999
