David Byrne
What A Day That Was

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 every 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 goin' boom boom boom

That's the way we live

And in a great big room and

That's the way we live


Mirror lyrics:

That's the way we live

And in a great big room and

That's the way we live

We're goin' boom boom boom



Ooh, what a day that was

And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do

Ooh, and then we let it fall

And on the first day, we had everything we could hold



Who knows the difference between right and wrong

And if you feel like talking to someone

You feel like going home

So if you feel like you're in a whirlpool



Moving in every direction

And they're enjoying themselves

They're movin' backwards and front

They're movin' forward and back



From all over town

Well, they're roundin' 'em up

And the light came down

Well, I'm going right through



Three's a million ways to make things work out

There's a million ways to get things done

Ooh, that's the way it goes

Oh, a day that was



Ooh, what a day that was

And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do

Ooh, and then we let it fall

And on the first day, we had everything we could hold



A time for big decisions

And I put the wheels in motion

It was my own invention

I'm dreaming of a city



Go pull a fire alarm

Starts a chain reaction

Now an electrical storm

Down come the bolts of lightning



They have nothing left to eat

They have lost all their possessions

Roaming in the streets

There are 50,000 beggars



Ooh, what a day that was

And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do

Ooh, and then we let it fall

And on the first day, we had everything we could hold



And don't you dare speak up

Now don't you dare sit back

An' don't you dare sit down

He's makin' shapes with his hands



And then he walks up, up to the throne

He's got rings on his fingers

Big chief with a golden crown

Lemme tell you a story



Startin' over in another place

Yes I'm startin' over

An' I'm doin' my best

Well, I'm dressed up so nice
