[length: 06:01]
[00:13.34]Oh well, I’m dressed up so nice
[00:16.14]And I’m doing my best
[00:19.39]And I’m starting over
[00:22.99]I’m starting over in another place
[00:26.55]Lemme tell you a story
[00:28.94]A big chief with a golden crown
[00:33.01]He’s got rings on his fingers
[00:35.54]And then he walks up, up to the throne
[00:39.26]He’s making shapes with his hands
[00:42.95]And don’t you dare sit back
[00:45.15]And don’t you dare sit down
[00:49.50]And don’t you dare speak up
[00:51.16]And on the first day we had everything we could stand
[00:59.50]Who could’ve asked for more?
[01:05.39]And on a second day there was nothing else left to do
[01:12.76]Oh what a day that was
[01:25.58]Well there are fifty thousand beggars
[01:29.57]Roaming in the streets
[01:32.52]And they have lost all their possessions
[01:35.62]And they have nothing left to eat
[01:38.57]Down come a bolt of lightning
[01:41.96]Start an electrical storm
[01:45.64]And starts a chain reaction
[01:48.96]”Go pull a fire alarm”, I said that
[01:52.31]I’m dreaming of a city
[01:55.86]It was my own invention
[01:58.68]I put the wheels in motion
[02:01.96]A time for big decisions
[02:04.65]And on the first day we had everything we could stand
[02:12.44]Oh and then we let it fall
[02:17.95]And on a second day there was nothing else left at all
[02:22.50]Oh what a day that was
[02:36.98]What a day that was
[02:42.94]And that’s the way it goes
[02:46.69]There’s a million ways to get things done
[02:52.63]There’s a million ways to make things work out
[03:25.48]Oh well, I’m going right through
[03:34.81]And the light came down
[03:38.06]And they’re rounding them up
[03:40.55]From all over town
[03:43.76]They’re moving forward and backwards
[03:47.02]Moving backwards and front
[03:50.45]And they’re enjoying themselves
[03:53.63]Moving in every direction
[03:57.62]And if you feel like you’re in a whirlpool
[04:00.94]You feel like going home
[04:04.30]You feel like talking to someone
[04:07.70]Who know the difference between right and wrong
[04:11.01]And on the first day we had everything we could stand
[04:17.82]Oh and then we let it fall
[04:23.53]And on a second day there was nothing else left at all
[04:31.39]Oh what a day that was
[04:44.58]We’re going boom, boom, boom and that’s the way we live
[05:08.88]And in a great big room and that’s the way we live
[05:14.95]We’re going boom, boom, boom and that’s the way we live
[05:21.70]And in a great big room and that’s the way we live
[05:28.93]We’re going boom, boom, boom and that’s the way we live
[05:32.94]And in a great big room and that’s the way we live
