David Byrne
Once in a Lifetime (Live from Austin, Tx)
[Verse 1]
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?"

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
And you may ask yourself
"How do I work this?"
And you may ask yourself
"Well, 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!"
[Chorus 1]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 4]
You may ask yourself
"What is that beautiful house?"
You may ask yourself
"Well, where does that highway lead to?"
And you may ask yourself
"Am I right? Am I wrong?"
And you may say to yourself
"My God! What have I done?!"
[Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Bridge]
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it, ever was
Sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was

[Outro]
¡Ah!
Time isn't holding us!
Time isn't after us
Time isn't holding us!
Time isn't holding right!
Time isn't holding us!
Time isn't after us
And here comes the twister
Here it comes, here it comes
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!

Thank you!
