{Donāt worry, I wonāt hurt you
I only want you to have some fun}
I was dreaminā when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this morninā, couldāve sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple, there were people runninā everywhere
Tryinā to run from the destruction, you know I didnāt even care
Say say two thousand zero zero party over, oops, out of time
So tonight Iām gonna party like itās nineteen ninety-nine
I was dreaminā when I wrote this, so sue me if I go too fast
But life is just a party and parties werenāt meant to last
War is all around us, my mind says prepare to fight
So if I gotta die Iām gonna listen to my body tonight
Yeah hey, they say two thousand zero zero party over, oops, out of time
So tonight Iām gonna party like itās nineteen ninety-nine
Yeah, yeah, hey

Forgive me if it goes astray
