Once in a Lifetime

Brian Eno, Jerry Harrison, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, David Byrne

[Intro]
Same way
Is the same old way
Same old way as it ever was

[Verse 1]
You may find yourself in a shotgun shack
(Same old way as it ever was)
You may find yourself another part of the world
(Same old way as it ever was)
You may find yourself in a large automobile
(Same old way as it ever was)
Or in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may say, "Well, how did I get here?"

[Chorus]
(And the days go by) let the water hold me down
(And the days go by) you are flowing underground
Into the blue again (after the money's gone)
Once in a lifetime, (water flowing underground)

[Verse 2]
You may ask yourself, "How do I work this thing?"
(Same old way as it ever was)
You may ask yourself, "What is that large automobile?"
(Same old way as it ever was)
You may tell yourself, "This is not my house"
(Same old way as it ever was)
You may tell yourself, "This is not my wife"
And you may say, "Then, who did I get here?"

[Chorus]
(And the days go by) let the water hold me down
(And the days go by) you are flowing underground
Into the blue again (after the money's gone)
Once in a lifetime, (water flowing underground)

[Bridge]
(The water, the water, the water, the water)
(The water, the water, the water, the water)

[Verse 3]
Consider the water, it is water all around us, mon
Why, it is water at the bottom of the ocean
Water comes down in drops of refreshing rain to be dried up, to come down again the same as it ever was, a ha ha

[Verse 4]
You may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?"
You may ask yourself, "Where is my beautiful house?"
You may ask yourself, "Am I right or am I wrong?"
And you may say, "My God! What have I done?"

[Chorus]
(And the days go by) let the water hold me down
(And the days go by) you are flowing underground
Under the rocks and stones (into the silent water)
Once in a lifetime, (there is water underground)
(Letting days go by) let the water hold me down
(Letting days go by) you are flowing underground
Into the blue again (after the money's gone)
Once in a lifetime, (once in a lifetime)

[Outro]
Same way
Is the same old way
Same old way as it ever was
