What A Day That Was (LP版)-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 fingers And then he walks up, up to the throne He's makin' shapes with his hands An' don't you dare sit down Now don't you dare sit back And don't you dare speak up! 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. 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 Now an electrical storm Starts a chain reaction Go pull a fire alarm I'm 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 it fall And on the second day, there was nothing else left To do Ooh what a day that was. Oh a day that was Ooh that's the way it goes There's a million ways- to get things done Three'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 ev'ry 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 knows the difference between right and wrong 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. We're go(in') boom boom boom That's the way we live And in a great big room and That's the way we live.
