1999 (English version)

So what am I to do?

I toss and turn but I lie awake

The distant dark has taken on an orange glow

There was a movie I saw

Set in a time quite a while ago

Back when my mom and my dad were still a boy and girl

The year is '99, a Christmas eve

Something could change this city that we love

into a whole new place

at least that's how the story goes

So what am I to do?

There are more nights where I lie awake

Teddy dear, I feel like I could talk to you

The city's filled with light

and cheery steps echo through the lane

It's getting closer, what we've all been waiting for

Oh here, it comes

The year is '99, a Christmas eve

Something has changed the one that I adore

into somebody else, another kind

The year is '99, a Christmas eve

Something could change this city that we love

into a whole new place

at least that's how the story goes

The year is '99, a Christmas eve

Something has changed the one that I adore

into somebody else, another kind

Oh tell me why

I'll come for you just 'fore the morning light has reached your door
