Well, I'm dressed up so nice And I'm doing my best Well, I'm starting over Starting 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 making shapes with his hands And don't you dare sit down Now don't you dare jump 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 Well, there are fifty thousand beggars Roaming in the streets They have lost all of their possessions They have nothing left to eat Down comes a bolt of lightning Starting an electrical storm Now comes the 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, there was nothing else left inside Ooh, what were they 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 There's a million ways to make things work out Well, I'm going right trough And the light came down Well, they're rounding 'em up From all over town They're moving forward and back They're moving 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 well in hand Ooh, who could have asked for more And on the second day, there was nothing left we could hold Ooh, what a day that was Boom, boom, boom, and that's the way we live And in a great big room, and that's the way we live Well, a 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, that's the way we live And in a great big room, and that's the way we live And going boom, boom, boom, that's the way we live And in a great big room, and that's the way we live
