verse1 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 Chorus 1 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 Verse 2 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 Pre-Chorus Oh here, it comes Chorus 2 The year is ‘99, a Christmas eve Something has changed the one that I adore Into somebody else, another kind Oh-ah-ah Chorus 1+2 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-ah-ah Post-Chorus Oh, tell me why Outro I’ll come for you just ‘fore the morning light has reached your door Woo-oh-oh
