Once In A Lifetime

In the style of

Talking Heads

Lyrics

and you may
find yourself
living in
a shotgun shack

and you may
find yourself
in another part
of the world

and you may
find yourself
behind the wheel
of a large automobile

and you may
find yourself
in a beautiful house
with a beautiful wife

and you may
ask yourself
well
how did i get here

letting the days go by
let the water
hold me down

letting the days go by
water flowing
underground
into the blue again
after the money's
gone

once in a lifetime
water flowing
underground
and you may
ask yourself
how do i work this

and you may
ask yourself
where is that
large automobile

and you may
tell yourself
this is not
my beautiful house
and you may
tell yourself
this is not
my beautiful wife

letting the days go by
let the water
hold me down

letting the days go by
water flowing
underground
into the blue again
after the money's
gone

once in a lifetime
water flowing
underground

same as it ever was
same as it ever was
same as it ever was
same as it ever was

same as it ever was
same as it ever was
same as it ever was
same as it ever was

water dissolving
and water removing
there is water
at the bottom
of the ocean

under the water
carry the water
remove the water
at the bottom
of the ocean
water dissolving
water removing

letting the days go by
let the water
hold me down

letting the days go by
water flowing
underground
into the blue again
into the silent water

under the rocks
and stones
there is water
underground
letting the days go by
let the water
hold me down

letting the days go by
water flowing
underground
into the blue again
after the money's
gone

once in a lifetime
water flowing
underground
you may ask yourself
what is that
beautiful house

you may ask yourself
where does that
highway go to
and you may
ask yourself
am i right
am i wrong

and you may
say to yourself
my god
what have i done

letting the days go by
let the water
hold me down

letting the days go by
water flowing
underground
into the blue again
into the silent water

under the rocks
and stones
there is water
underground
letting the days go by
let the water
hold me down

letting the days go by
water flowing
underground
into the blue again
after the money's
gone

once in a lifetime
water flowing
underground
same as it ever was
same as it ever was
same as it ever was

look where
my hand was
time isn't holding up
time isn't after us
same as it ever was
oh same as it ever was

mm same as it ever was
same as it ever was
same as it ever was
same as it ever was

going to roll over
same as it ever was
and you hear
a twister comes
here comes
the twister

same as it ever was
same as it ever was
same as it ever was
same as it ever was

once in a lifetime
let the water
hold me down

letting the days go by
water flowing
underground
letting the days go by
after the money's
gone

once in a lifetime
water flowing
underground
