Well, I'm dressed up so nice And I'm doin' my best And I'm startin' over I'm startin' over in another place Lemme tell you a story A big chief with a golden crown He's got rings on his fingers And he walks up, up to the throne He's makin' shapes with his hands And don't you dare sit back Now don't you dare sit down And don't you dare speak up [Chorus] And on the first day, we had everything we could stand Ooh, who could have asked for more? And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do Ooh, what a day that was, oh [Verse 2] Well, there are 50,000 beggars Roaming in the streets And they have lost all their possessions And they have nothing left to eat Down come a bolt of lightning Start an electrical storm And starts a chain reaction Go pull a fire alarm I said I, I'm dreaming of a city It was my own invention I put the wheels in motion A time for big decisions See upcoming rock shows Get tickets for your favorite artists You might also like Burning Down the House (Live) Talking Heads Making Flippy Floppy Talking Heads Swamp Talking Heads [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Oh, a day that was Ooh, and 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 [Verse 3] Well, I'm going right through And the light came down And they're roundin' 'em up From all over town (ha ha) They're movin' forward and backwards Movin' backwards and front And they're enjoying themselves Movin' in every direction And if you feel like you're in a whirlpool You feel like going home You feel like talking to someone Who knows the difference between right and wrong [Chorus] Oh, 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, oh [Outro: David Byrne, with Ednah Holt and Lynn Mabry] We're goin' 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 goin' 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 goin' boom, boom, boom And that's the way we live And in a great big room And that's the way we live Ha, ha

Interesting experiment, really satisfying when they line up during the chorus, particularly with the ohs at the end.

My thoughts exactly. I'm tinkering with it still to see if it could be polished more. The delayed vocals for the "50k beggars" was neat on paper but im not so sure yet...
