Barns Courtney – "99" lyrics
[Verse 1]
Heart strung, 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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"

[Chorus]
In 1990
In 1999
In 1990
In 1999

[Verse 2]
Back then we were trading
Cards behind the swings
Oh no, now it's money, gold, and diamond rings
Now those days are over
And we are all ghosts

[Pre-Chorus]
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"

[Chorus]
In 1990
In 1999
In 1990
In 1999

[Bridge]
Oh, oh no, where does it go?
Well whatever fill your body up with chemicals
Oh, oh no, kaleidoscopes
Well whatever living better in

[Chorus]
In 1990
In 1999
In 1990
In 1999

[Outro]
Nintendo, Atari
Sega's my Ferrari
I got it, I love it, I, I
In 1990
Got Sony electronics
Voodoo economics
I got it, I love it, I, I
In 1999
