|
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 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. |
|
There are 50,000 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 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 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 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 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 know the difference between right and wrong |
|
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. |
|
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. |
