Once In A Lifetime
Par David Byrne
Album : State Theater, Minneapolis

A man wakes up in a strange room

He doesn't recognize the woman next to him

He gets out of bed, there's a wallet on the dresser

He opens it up, looks inside at the driver's license in there with his face on it

And someone else's name

And you may ask yourself

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?), 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

You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful gouse?"

You may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?"

You may ask 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

Remove the water, carry the water

Remove the water from 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
After the moneys 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 say to 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
After the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again

Into the silent water

Under the rocks and stones

There is water 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
Letting the days go by
Letting the days go by
Letting the days go by
Once in a lifetime
Letting the days go by
Letting the days go by
Letting the days go by
Once in a lifetime
