What A Day That Was Lyrics - Stop Making Sense - Talking Heads

Oh well, I'm dressed up so nice 

And I'm doing my best 

And I'm starting over 

I'm starting 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 making shapes with his hands 

And don't you dare sit back 

And don't you dare sit down 

And don't you dare speak up 

And on the first day we had everything we could stand 

Who could've asked for more? 

And on a second day there was nothing else left to do 

Oh what a day that was

Well there are fifty thousand beggars 

Roaming in the streets 

And they have lost all their possessions 

And they have nothing left to eat 

Down come a bolt of lightning 

Start an electrical storm 

And starts a chain reaction 

"Go pull a fire alarm", I said that 

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 we had everything we could stand 

Oh and then we let it fall 

And on a second day there was nothing else left at all 

Oh what a day that was

What a day that was 

And 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 

Oh well, I'm going right through 

And the light came down 

And they're rounding them up 

From all over town 

They're moving forward and backwards 

Moving backwards and front 

And they're enjoying themselves 

Moving in every direction 

And if you feel like you're in a whirlpool 

You feel like going home 

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 

Oh and then we let it fall 

And on a second day there was nothing else left at all 

Oh what a day that was 

We're going boom, boom, boom and that's the way we live 

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

We're going boom, boom, boom and that's the way we live 

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

We're going boom, boom, boom and that's the way we live 

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