Bruce Hornsby › Lyrics › What a Time

Well, it came on fast when I heard the blast
And the main generator made a giant gasp
It was round about midnight, about half past
City went black as coal so fast

And oh, what a time, everybody was fazing, hazing
Oh, what a time, 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 a , and a killing thirst
Couldn't see a soul doing it in the dirt

Oh, what a time, everybody was praising, raising
Oh, what a time, 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, woah, woah, woah

And oh, what a time, everybody was razing, grazing
Oh, what a time, was time to be amazing
Time to lose all reason or rhyme
What a time
