Once In A Lifetime Lyrics - Stop Making Sense - Talking Heads

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 

You may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife 

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 from the bottom of the ocean 

Water dissolving and 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 

Leting 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?" 

You may ask yourself, "Am I right, am I wrong?" 

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, 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, hey let's all twist our thumbs 

Here comes the twister 

Letting the days go by 

Letting the days go by 

Once in a lifetime 

Let the water hold me down 

Letting the days go by
