Once in a Lifetime
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself
Well... How did I get here?
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 moneys 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
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.
The Same as it ever was...
The same as it ever was...
The same as it ever was...
And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go to?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right or am I wrong?
And you may said yourself
Oh my God! What have I done?
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
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
