Once In A Lifetime Lyrics - David Byrne

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 moneys 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 moneys 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 

Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean 

Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean! 

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down 

Letting the days go by/water flowing underground 

Into the blue again/in 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 moneys gone 

Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground. 

And you may ask yourself 

What is that beautiful house? 

And you may ask yourself 

Where does that highway go? 

And you may ask yourself 

Am I right? ...am I wrong? 

And you may tell 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/in 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 moneys 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...
