A super conceptual song about paranoia surrounding the rapture occurring upon the turnover to the year 2000, awkwardly combined with Texan-like space travel talk.
[Intro: JC Chasez]
Riprock, AG, come in, over
Yo, turn me up, I wanna be heard
See, I'm talkin' about the future, y'all
And the future looks bright
'Specially when we rip it in half
[Verse 1: JC Chasez with *NSYNC]
Here it comes, millennium
And everybody's talkin' 'bout Jerusalem
Is this the beginning or beginning of the end?
Well I've got other thoughts, my friend
See, I've got my eyes on the skies...
The heavenly bodies up high...
And if you're in the mood to take a ride... (a ride)
Then strap on a suit and get inside...
[Chorus: *NSYNC]
If you wanna fly
Come and take a ride
Take a space ride with the cowboy, baby
If you wanna fly
Come and take a ride
Take a space ride with the cowboy, baby
[Refrain: *NSYNC]
Why-yi-yi, yippie-yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yay
Why-yi-yi, yippie-yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo
Why-yi-yi, yippie-yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yay
Why-yi-yi, yippie-yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo
[Verse 2: Justin Timberlake with JC Chasez & *NSYNC]
We don't need all these prophecies
Tellin' us what's a sign (what's a sign)
'Cause paranoia ain't the way to live your life from day to day
(No, no, no)
So leave your doubts and your fears behind...
Don't be afraid at all...
'Cause up in outer space, there's no gravity to fall
Put your mind and your body to the test...
'Cause up in outer space, it's like the Wild, Wild West
[Chorus: *NSYNC]
If you wanna fly
Come and take a ride
Take a space ride with the cowboy, baby
If you wanna fly
Come and take a ride
Take a space ride with the cowboy, baby
[Refrain: *NSYNC & Justin Timberlake]
Why-yi-yi, yippie-yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yay
(Yippie-yi-yippie-yi-yay)
Why-yi-yi, yippie-yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo
(Yippie-yi-yippie-yi-yo, oh)
Why-yi-yi, yippie-yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yay
(Yippie-yi-yippie-yi-yay)
Why-yi-yi, yippie-yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo
(Yippie-yi-yo, oh)
[Interlude: JC Chasez]
There it is, yo
It's time we put some funk on this track
And I'm not talkin' about that stale stuff
Yo, Riprock, AG
[Verse 3: Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes]
Sonic Boom and never let you try to stop me
Born to fly sky high up to the top, see
Nothing to fear, no doubts and no tears
Millennium sound to motivate the future years
And you can either be scared or get prepared
Against all odds I bet you never would've dared
To make these moves and take flight like me
To come through for the world prophecy
Space connect to overthrow your interception
Ready or not, make it hot
That ain't no question
Get *NSYNC and put your head to the sky
Keep the faith
One love from Left Eye (Left Eye)
[Chorus: *NSYNC, JC Chasez & Justin Timberlake]
(Alright, here we go)
If you wanna fly (fly...)
Come and take a ride
Take a space ride with the cowboy, baby
If (If) you wanna fly (you wanna fly, baby)
Come and take a ride (take a ride, baby)
Take a space ride with the cowboy, baby
If you wanna fly (If you wanna fly...)
Come and take a ride
Take a space ride with the cowboy, baby (ooh...)
If you wanna fly (if you want to fly, yeah)
Come and take a ride (come and take a ride)
Take a space ride with the cowboy, baby
(Ride with the cowboy)
[Refrain: *NSYNC, JC Chasez & Justin TImberlake]
Why-yi-yi, yippie-yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yay
(Just ride, baby)
Why-yi-yi, yippie-yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo
(Yippie-yi-yo, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Why-yi-yi, yippie-yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yay
(Just ride, baby)
Why-yi-yi, yippie-yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo
(Ride with the cowboy)
[Outro: *NSYNC, Justin Timberlake & JC Chasez]
Why-yi-yi, yippie-yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yay
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Why-yi-yi, yippie-yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo
Riprock, AG, end of transmission
They've had enough
