"Bad Day"
Where is the moment we needed the most
You
kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue
skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I
don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a
new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me
your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every
time
And I don't need no carryin' on
Cause you had a bad
day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it
around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work
at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera
don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You
had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky
holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't
need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one
down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you
don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go
for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're
coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad
day
(Oh.. Holiday...)
Sometimes the system goes on the
blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it
back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm
not wrong
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh
you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause
you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song
just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't
lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad
day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more
time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Had a bad
day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad
day
Fireheart padded back to camp, tail drooping. His best friend Graystripe had left him. Gone to RiverClan to be with his kits. It was the worst punishment for both of them, and it wasn't even a punishment. Now there was to be no more hunting patrols, play fights, or adventures shared.
Where
is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the
magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They
tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin'
on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're
faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been
way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't
need no carryin' on
Graystripe stood at the entrance to the RiverClan camp, his camp, his Clan. He stood next to Mistyfoot, staring at all the cats in this strange place. No, not strange, this was his new home. Graystripe wailed with grief for Silverstream, his lost mate, and Fireheart, his best friend whom he had left to be here.
Cause
you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song
just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't
lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad
day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really
don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Fireheart passed the apprentices den as he made his way across the camp. He arrived at the warriors den and curled up, eyes blank. Sandstorm came over to him and asked if wanted to go hunting. Fireheart shook his head.
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they
laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
Two bundles of silver suckled in the nursery now, Featherkit and Stormkit. Graystripe looked lovingly at his two kin. He knew then that no matter what happened in the past, he would protect these kits with his life.
You
had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just
to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't
lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad
day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really
don't mind
You had a bad day
(Oh.. Holiday...)
Fireheart dreamt that night, in the dream, he saw Spottedleaf and Silverstream. The two she-cats nodded at Fireheart. Spottedleaf stepped forward and murmured something in his ear, something about prophecies and doom. Silverstream stared down into a pool of silver. Fireheart craned his neck to get a better look. He gasped. There in the pool was a storm cloud, floating on the breeze, a feather stuck into it. A gray river wound its way through the cloud, while a star shone in the background.
Sometimes
the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out
wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be
well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong
Graystripe stared across the river. Somehow he knew in his heart that no matter what he felt, this was where he need to be. RiverClan, his kits, Silverstream, that was all part of him now. He turned to go back to his strange nest, strange cats, strange food. No, he turned to go back to his new home. He had one last thought, before he left.
So
where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You
kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Goodbye
Silverstream. Goodbye Fireheart.
