What a Day That Was (Live)

Well, I'm dressed up so nice
An' I'm doin' my best
An' I'm startin' over
Startin' over in another place

Lemme tell you a story
A big chief with a golden crown
He's got rings on his fingers
And then he walks up, up to the throne

An' don't you dare sit down
Don't you dare look down
And don't you dare look back
And don't you dare speak out

Oh, but on the first day, we had everything we could stand
Oh, what we were looking for
And on the second day, there was nothing else left inside
Oh, what a day that was, ahh!

Well, there are 50,000 beggars
Roaming in the streets
They have lost all their possessions
They have nothing left to eat

Down come the bolts of lightning
Start an electrical storm
Starts a chain reaction
Go pull a fire alarm
I said it, I

I'm dreaming of a city
It was my own invention
I put the wheels in motion
A time for big decisions

Oh, but on the first day, we had everything all in hand
Oh, and then we let it fall
And on the second day, there was nothing else left at all
Oh, what a day that was, oh

Oh, a day that was
Oh, that's the way it goes
There's a million ways to get things done
There's a million ways to make things work out

Well, I'm going right through
And the light came down
And they're roundin' 'em up
From all over town

They're movin' forward and backwards
Movin' backwards and front
And they're enjoying themselves
Moving in ev'ry direction

Oh, and if you feel like you're in a whirlpool
You feel like going home
You feel like talking to someone
Who knows the difference between right and wrong

Oh, but on the first day, we had everything we could stand
Oh, what we were looking for
And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do
Oh, what a day that was
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey, woo-woo, hey, woo-woo-hey-hey

We're goin', "Boom, boom, boom!"
And that's the way we live
And in a great big room
And that's the way we live

We're goin', "Boom, boom, boom!"
And that's the way we live
And in a great big room
And that's the way we live

We're goin', "Boom, boom, boom!"
And that's the way we live
And in a great big room
And that's the way we live

Thank you!
