about
This Prince cover is a bonus track from CNTRL's upcoming sophomore album, "CNTRL ALL DELETE". Meant to be a cheeky juxtaposition versus the rest of their material, doing a Prince cover really shows the versatility and experimentation that CNTRL is capable of, and that their boundaries are as finite as the universe itself.
lyrics
Lyrics:
I was dreaming when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray
but when I woke up this morning, could've sworn it was judgement day.
The sky was all purple, there were people running everywhere.
Tryna run from the destruction, you know I didn't even care.
Say say two thousand zero zero by the old world that's out of time
so tonight I'm gonna party like it's nineteen ninety nine.
I was dreaming when I wrote this, so sue me if I go too fast
but life is just a murder and murders weren't meant to last.
War is all around us, my mind says prepare to fight!
So if I'm gonna die, I'm gonna listen to CNTRL tonight!
Yeah! They say two thousand zero zero by the old world that's out of time
so tonight I'm gonna party like it's nineteen ninety nine.
Ohhhhhhh. Yeah yeah!
Kid, let me tell you something...
If you didn't come to kill me, don't bother knockin' on my door
R'oh! Oooh!
I've got a knife in my pocket, and baby, he's ready to roll!
Yeah, yeah! Yeah!
Everybody's got a bomb, we could all die any day!
Ow!
But before I let that happen, I'll dance my life away!
Woahuwoah!
They say two thousand zero zero by the old world that's out of time
We're runnin' out of time.
so tonight I'm gonna party like it's nineteen ninety nine.
Come on, a'woh! Say one more time!
They say two thousand zero zero by the old world that's out of time
Yeah, yeaaah!
so tonight I'm gonna party like it's nineteen ninety nine.
We gonna! Oh! Yeah!
Nineteen ninety nine.
Don'tcha wanna go?
Ooh!
Nineteen ninety nine.
Don'tcha wanna go?
Ooh!
We could all die here today!
Nineteen ninety nine.
I don't wanna die, I'd rather dance my life away!
