Lyrics Once in a Lifetime

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

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

Remove the water water remove pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa

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?

May ask yourself where does that highway go to?

And you may ask yourself am I right, am I wrong?

And you may tell 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 and look where my hand was

Time isn't holding up time isn't after us

Same as it ever was

Letting the days go by

Same as it ever was

Here a twister comes

Here comes the twister

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
