1999 lyrics

i do remember
like a punch in the face
i never felt so alive since 19 19 99
the time that we got it all out

how can i forget the nights we killed
every summer night
you know the sun never sets around here
that is what we wake for up here

your band came to town
i was too young to know
you were younger than I'm now in 19 80 83
you came on with a black eye

look behind you the raft
you closed your eyes
your shot us in high states
to fall fall fall behind
get them out of your mind

this is who i am or was and always be
no Richard know the truth what else
no living legend always been
someone is corrected
relying till defected

I'm not complaining
that I'm not making it easy
i think you'll understand
i never wanted this to end
and i have kept my promises

how can i forget shaking every memory
looking back when sun never set around here
and we waited all year

this is who i am or was and always be
no Richard know the truth what else
no living legend always been
someone is corrected
relying till defected

oh Richard no oh oh same old
living legend no oh
never been so close before

and what they say's not always right
and Richard know you know what's right
and they think that you're living dead
somehow
somehow
oh Richard no oh same old
living legend no oh never been so close before
