Stop Making Sense
 
Well, I'm dressed up so nice
An' I'm doin' my best
An' I'm startin' over...
I'm 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 choo dare sit back
Now don't choo dare sit down
And don't choo dare speak up!
 
And on the first day, we had everything we could stand
Ooh who could've asked for more?
And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do
Ooh what a day that was.
 
There are fifty thousand beggars
Roaming in the streets
They have lost all their possessions
They have nothing left to eat
 
Down come a bolt of lightning
Start an electrical storm
Starts 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, we had everything we could stand
Ooh and then we let it fall
And on the second day, there was nothing else at all
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
There'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 backwards
They're movin' backwards and front
And they're enjoying themselves
Moving in ev'ry 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
Ooh and then we let it fall
And on the second day, there was nothing else left at all
Ooh what a day that was.
(We're go(in') boom boom boom That's the way we live
And in a great big room and That's the way we live.) x3
