  • We've got stars directing our fate
    And we're praying it's not too late
    Millennium

    Some say that we are players
    Some say that we are pawns
    But we've been making money
    Since the day that we were born
    Got to slow down
    'Cause we're low down
    Run around in circles
    Live a life of solitude
    'Til we find ourselves a partner
    Someone to relate to
    Then we'll slow down
    Before we fall down

    We've got stars directing our fate
    And we're praying it's not too late
    'Cause we know we're falling from grace
    Millennium

    Live for liposuction
    And detox for your rent
    Overdose at Christmas
    And give it up for Lent
    My friends are all so cynical
    Refuse to keep the faith
    We all enjoy the madness
    'Cause we know we're gonna fade away

    We've got stars directing our fate
    And we're praying it's not too late
    'Cause we know we're falling from grace
    Millennium

    Come and have a go if you think you are hard enough
    Come and have a go if you think you are hard enough
    Millennium, millennium

    We've got stars directing our fate
    And we're praying it's not too late
    'Cause we know we're falling from grace
    Millennium
    (Sometimes you know)

    And when we come we always come too late
    I often think that we were born to hate
    Get up and see the sarcasm in my eyes
    And when we come we always come too late
    I often think that we were born to hate
    Get up and see the sarcasm in my eyes

    We've got stars directing our fate (millennium)
    And we're praying it's not too late (millennium)
    'Cause we know we're falling from grace (millennium)
    (And we won't stop)

    We've got stars directing our fate
    And we're praying it's not too late
    'Cause we know we're falling from grace
