Well, I’m dressed up so nice
|
And I’m doin' my best
|
And I’m startin' over
|
Startin' over in another place
|
Let me 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
|
And don’t you dare sit down
|
Now don’t you dare talk 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
|
There are 50,000 beggars
|
Roaming in the streets
|
They have lost all their possessions
|
They have nothing left to eat
|
Down come the bolt of lightning
|
Start an electrical storm
|
Now come a 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’s was nothing else left inside
|
Ooh what they were 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
|
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 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?
|
Ooh who could have asked for more?
|
And on the second day, there was nothing left we could?
|
Ooh what a day that was
|
We’re goin' boom boom boom
|
That’s the way we live
|
In a great big room
|
That’s the way we live
|
We’re goin' boom boom boom
|
That’s the way we live
|
In a great big room
|
That’s the way we live
|
We’re goin' boom boom boom
|
That’s the way we live
|
In a great big room
|
That’s the way we live |
