Sit tight let the radical road rise up to meet you It burns like fire sometimes getting scolded by the teacher Tell me where does your rhythm wind blow From where's the tide that overcomes you Till you're falling away deep into your slumber Did you think that I would mind? Did you think that I was blind? I wish I knew then what I know now Take it back to '99 We were younger We had hunger We went dancing all the time All the time In 1999 In 1999 1999 Laugh lines they may be a sign of your elation Young bike shed bandit caught candid getting high on information But no dice when you're playing it nice Yea I found the roses on the pavement Little runaway child weakened by persuasion Did you think that I would mind? Did you think that I was blind? I wish I knew then what I know now Take it back to '99 We were younger We had hunger We went dancing all the time All the time In 1999 In 1999 1999
