What A Day Lyrics

A piece of mail
A letter head
A piece of hair
On a human head

You're sayin' to me
"I should've killed it"
"I should've killed it"
"I should've killed it"
"I should've killed it before"

You're right, you're right
"Kill the body and the head will die"
They're laughing at me
"I should've learned it"
"I should've learned it"
"I should've learned it"
"I should've learned it"
"I should've learned it"
"I should've learned it before"
"I should've learned it before"

What a day, what a day
If you can look it in the face
And hold your vomit
What a day, what a day
If you can look it in the face
And hold your vomit

A wet sneeze and a "no left turn"
A row of teeth and an encouraging word
Beneath a mile of skin
"I should've noticed it"
"I should've noticed it"
"Noticed it before"
"Noticed it before"
"Noticed it before"
"Noticed it before"

What a day, what a day
If you can look it in the face
And hold your vomit
What a day, what a day
If you can look it in the face
And hold your vomit

What a day
What a day
What a day
What a day
What a day
What a...

...day
What a day
What a day
What a day
What a day
What a day
What a day

Don't you touch it
What a day
What a day
What a day
Don't you touch it
What a day
What a day
What a day
Don't you touch it
What a day
What a day
What a day
Don't you touch it

When I listen to this I picture a police scene taped off where a detective is having a shitty day picking up the pieces of a gruesome murder. The cover art on King for a Day goes well with this song, maybe that's how I visualized this. Oh and Mike Patton kicks ass and takes names!

Great song...love the line 'What a day, what a day if you can look it in the face and hold your vomit.'

Well, I think the chorus pretty muh sums it up: waking up and thinking "oh crap, what did I just do?"

"Kill the body and the head will die" - reminds me of a Hunter S. Thompson quote.

crazed stalking fan

yeah that's fine and everything, but what exactly is going on between 1:17 and 1:23?

sounds like.. some sort of a disease, or a tumor, because of the dentist sounds. but what seems to have a "head", or a face?
