The First Day

The first day was love
The first day was new
The first day was joy
It was here, and it was now

We don't know we're stupid yet
We don't know we're stupid yet

The first day we get lost
Walk through the maze and mess of Chinatown
I taste papaya ice cream the first day
And smell scents from outer space

Sparkles fall off your eyes
We can't find our way around
This is the beginning of something new
And we all know, a beginning is good

And we don't know we're stupid yet
We don't know we're stupid yet

And before free was a dirty word
I walked into a donut shop
Counted 16 flavors in a modern display
And thought hey, I must be living in a dream

Ugly, beautiful, swirling side by side
A summer haze a pretty face
Buildings rise, stairs decorate their sides
What genius thought of this?

We don't know we're stupid yet
We don't know we're stupid yet

Sparkles reflect your face in a sheet of spray
From broken street fountains
We fall in love with a dump today
Its indifference, the most beautiful thing

And we don't know we're stupid yet
And we don't know we're stupid yet

New words fill the sky
But no words need to fall today
This is the first day of life
And the first day is good
