What A Time Lyrics - Bruce Hornsby

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
