What A Day That Was

Well, I'm dressed up so nice
And I'm doin' my best
Well 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

He's makin' shapes with his hands
Now don't you dare sit down
Now don't you dare jump back
And don't you dare stick out!

And on the first day, we had everything we could hold
Ooh, and then we let it fall
And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do
Ooh, what a day that was, ohh

Well, there are fifty thousand 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
Now come the chain reaction, go pull a fire alarm
I'm dreaming of a city, it was my own invention
I put the wheels in motion, a time for big decisions

And on the first day, there was nothing else left inside
Ooh, what were they looking for
And on the second day, I had everything I could stand
Ooh, what a day that was

Ooh, a day that was, ooh 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
Well they're roundin' 'em up, from all over town
They're movin' forward and back
They're movin' backwards and front
And they're enjoying themselves, moving in every direction
And if you feel like you're in a whirlpool, feel like going home
Feel like talking to someone
Who knows the difference between right and wrong

And on the first day, I had everything well in hand
Ooh, who could have asked for more
And on the second day, there was nothing left we could do
Ooh, what a day that was, ohh, hmm

Boom, boom, boom, that's the way we live
And in a great big room and, that's the way we live
Boom boom boom, 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, 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, that's the way we live
And in a great big room and, that's the way we live
