Once in a lifetime

TALKING HEADS - Once in a lifetime

you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
you may find yourself in another part of the world
you may find yourself behind the wheels of a large automobile
you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
you may ask yourself : well, how did I get here?
Letting the days go by / let no water hold me down
Letting the days go by / water flowin on the ground
into the blue again / after the money's gone
once in a lifetime / water flowin on the ground
you may ask yourself: how do i work this?
you may ask yourself: where is that large automobile ?
you may tell yourself: this not my beautiful house!
you may tell yourself: this not my beautiful wife!!
Letting the days go by / let no water hold me down
Letting the days go by / water flowin on the ground
into the blue again / after the money's gone
once in a lifetime / water flowin on the ground
(same as it ever was)
Letting the days go by / let no water hold me down
Letting the days go by / water flowin on the ground
into the blue again / after the money's gone
once in a lifetime / water flowin on the ground
into the blue again / into the silent water
under the rocks and stones / there is water on the ground
Letting the days go by / into the silent water
once in a lifetime /water flowin on the ground
you may ask yourself: what is that beautiful house?
you may ask yourself: where does that highway lead to?
you may ask yourself: am i right, am i wrong?
you say to yourself: my god, what have i done!!
Letting the days go by / let no water hold me down
Letting the days go by / water flowin on the ground
into the blue again / after the money's gone
once in a lifetime / water flowin on the ground
into the blue again / into the silent water
under the rocks and stones / there is water on the ground
Letting the days go by / into the silent water
once in a lifetime /water flowin on the ground
(same as it ever was)
time isn't holding us / time isn't after us / time isn't holding...
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
