  • 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

    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 swings
    Oh no, now it's 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?
    Well whatever fill your body up with chemicals
    Oh, oh no, kaleidoscopes
    Well 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
    Got song electronics
    Voodoo economics
    I got it, I love it, I, I
    In 1999 Writer/s: Barnaby George Courtney, Sam Bartle
