What A Day That Was (Live) - David Byrne
Well I'm dressed up so nice
An I'm doin my best
Yes I'm startin' over
Startin' over in another place
Lemme tell you a story
Big chief with a golden crown
He's got rings on his finger
And then he walks up up to the throne
He's makin shapes with his hands
An don't choo dare sit down
Now don't choo dare jump back
And don't choo dare stick out
And on the first day we had everything we could stand
Ooh and then we let if all
And on the second day there was nothing else left to do
Ooh what a day that was
There
There are 50000 beggars
Roaming in the streets
They have lost all their possessions
They have nothing left to eat
Down come a bolt of lightning
Now an electrical storm
Starts a chain reaction
Go pull a fire alarm
I'm dreaming dreaming of a city
It was my own invention
And I put the wheels in motion
A time for big decisions
And on the first day we had everything we could hold
Ooh and then we let if all
And on the second day there was nothing else left to do
Ooh what a day that was
Oh a day that was
Ooh thats the way it goes
Theres a million ways to get things done
Threes a million ways
To make things work out
Well I'm going right trough
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 evry direction
So if you feel like you're in a whirlpool
You feel like going home
And if you feel like talking to someone
Who know the difference between right and wrong
And on the first day we had everything we could stand
Ooh and then we let if all
And on the second day there was nothing else left to do
Ooh what a day that was
Ahhhhhhh hey hey hey
Were goin' boom boom boom
Thats the way we live
And in a great big room
And thats the way we live
Were goin' boom boom boom
Thats the way we live
And in a great big room
And thats the way we live
Were goin' boom boom boom
Thats the way we live
And in a great big room
And thats the way we live
