[Verse 1]
Mister God above
Mister peace and love
Do you think you could show me a sign, yeah
‘Cause they tell me here that the end is near
And it’s only a matter of time

[Chorus]
So I’m living it up in the new city
1999
Island of the free and the young and the pretty
1999
Everybody won’t you look up in the sky
Better live it up now
‘Cause you’re all gonna die
Living it up in the new city
1999

[Verse 2]
People say I’m crazy ‘cause I watch the skies
But people are you ready for a big surprise?
‘Cause there’s a rhyme and a reason
A starry disguise
It’s a beautiful time to die

[Chorus]
So I’m living it up in the new city
1999
Island of the free and the young and the pretty
1999
No time to pout
And no time to cry
We’re all going out on the Fourth of July
Living it up in the new city
1999
[Bridge]
Science fact or science fiction
1999 prediction
666 the king of terror
Y2K computer error
Yes, my friend, the end’s upon us
Do your homework Nostradamus
Fire, fire in the sky

[Chorus]
1999
Island of the free and the young and the pretty
1999
Everybody won’t you look up in the sky
Better live it up now, ‘cause you’re all gonna die
Living it up in the new city
1999
Yeah, yeah
