It came on fast when i heard the blast |
|
And the main generator gave a giant gasp |
|
It was round about midnight, about half past |
|
And the city went black as coal so fast |
|
Oh, what a time |
|
Everybody was fazing, hazing |
|
Oh, what a time |
|
It was time to be amazing |
|
Time to lose all reason or rhyme |
|
What a time |
|
It was bad to worse, as the landlord cursed |
|
And the water tank in the backyard burst |
|
We were slipping and sliding and killing thirst |
|
And we couldn't see a soul doing it in the dirt |
|
Oh, what a time |
|
Everybody was praising, raising |
|
Oh, what a time |
|
It was time to be amazing |
|
Time to lose all reason or rhyme |
|
What a time |
|
A thousand people singing in the dark |
|
Couldn't see a thing |
|
A thousand people singing in the dark |
|
Oh, what a time |
|
Everybody was razing, grazing |
|
Oh, what a time |
|
It was time to be amazing |
|
Time to lose all reason or rhyme |
|
What a time |
