Once in a Lifetime LIVE Los Angeles '83 lyrics

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 wheel 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 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

How do I work this?

You may ask yourself

Where is that large automobile?

You may tell yourself

This is not my beautiful house!

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, 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

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!

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

Into the blue again/into the silent water

Under the rocks and stone/there is water underground

Letting the days go by/into the silent water

Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground

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 may say 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/after the money's gone

Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground

Into the blue again/into the silent water

Under the rocks and stone/there is water underground

Letting the days go by/into the silent water

Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground

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

Time isn’t holding us, time isn’t after us

Time isn’t holding us, time _________

Time isn’t holding us, time isn’t after us

Time isn’t holding us

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
