	Story Behind the Song A friend's journal reflected the wish/waiting for her "Big Bang," her ship to come in, etc., and Alex started playing around with the word bang, eventually hearing a riff that he brought to the Lab where he and Roy started experimenting and developing... They started recording instruments... acoustic guitar/slide, bass, keyboard synth using sound effects of clavier & drums, then experimented with trying to get a "telephone voice" by dropping the microphone down in a variety of jars, plastic containers, Saran wrap, etc. Originally the lyrics changed EVERY time Alex started singing - just making them up as he went along, till finally while recording a scratch track, the "made-ups" got put on paper against his wishes, and Roy had to argue with him to not automatically record over that track. Finally, he gave in. Lyrics I wanna be the greatest of the ultimate sins I wanna have a turn so I can finally win I wanna hit a million bucks at work Where the slot machine is busy just making jerks. Now I'm working on a bang bang bang I'm working on a chain gang I wonder who my friends are I wonder if I'm ever gonna meet that star. Bang bang. Well I'm working on a bang bang bang Trying to find something to complain about I'm dancing in the evening rain I'm held up by a midnight train. Bang bang. Dead president's corpse in a driver's car Looking for a girl who really goes far Lights up my eyes like a city street Looking for the one I'd like to meet. Well I'm working on a bang bang bang Trying to find something to complain about I'm dancin' in the evening rain I'm waitin' on a midnight train. I wanna be a giant man I wanna lead someone to understand Somewhere in the distance there's a great somewhere And I'd be greatful to end up anywhere, anywhere, anywhere, anywhere. While I'm working on a bang bang Ciao!
