Once in a Lifetime Lyrics
[00:17.85] You may find yourself
[00:19.81] Living in a shotgun shack
[00:21.93] You may find yourself
[00:24.11] In another part of the world
[00:26.27] You may find yourself
[00:28.29] Behind the wheel of a large automobile
[00:31.69] You may find yourself
[00:34.19] In a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
[00:37.42] And you may ask yourself
[00:39.83] Well, how did I get here?
[00:42.48] Letting the days go by
[00:44.05] Let the water hold me down
[00:45.84] Letting the days go by
[00:47.90] Water flowing underground
[00:49.99] Into the blue again
[00:52.02] After the money's gone
[00:54.08] Once in a lifetime
[00:55.95] Water flowing underground
[00:58.02] And you may ask yourself
[01:00.01] How do I work this?
[01:02.12] And you may ask yourself
[01:04.30] Where is that large automobile?
[01:06.47] And you may tell yourself
[01:08.35] This is not my beautiful house
[01:10.74] And you may tell yourself
[01:12.91] This is not my beautiful wife
[01:14.85] Letting the days go by
[01:16.60] Let the water hold me down
[01:18.58] Letting the days go by
[01:20.36] Water flowing underground
[01:22.38] Into the blue again
[01:24.54] After the money's gone
[01:26.58] Once in a lifetime
[01:28.62] Water flowing underground
[01:31.75] Same as it ever was
[01:33.46] Same as it ever was
[01:35.21] Same as it ever was
[01:37.15] Same as it ever was
[01:39.25] Same as it ever was
[01:41.03] Same as it ever was
[01:43.18] Same as it ever was
[01:45.14] Same as it ever was
[01:47.99] Water dissolving and water removing
[01:50.82] There is water at the bottom of the ocean
[01:54.24] Under the water, carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
[01:59.48] Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean
[02:03.45] Letting the days go by
[02:05.43] Let the water hold me down
[02:07.53] Letting the days go by
[02:09.68] Water flowing underground
[02:11.65] Into the blue again
[02:13.55] Into the silent water
[02:15.57] Under the rocks and stones
[02:17.62] There is water underground
[02:19.91] Letting the days go by
[02:21.81] Let the water hold me down
[02:23.84] Letting the days go by
[02:25.97] Water flowing underground
[02:28.12] Into the blue again
[02:30.02] After the money's gone
[02:32.03] Once in a lifetime
[02:33.92] Water flowing underground
[02:36.27] And you may ask yourself
[02:38.42] What is that beautiful house?
[02:40.53] And you may ask yourself
[02:42.44] Where does that highway go to?
[02:44.48] And you may ask yourself
[02:46.15] Am I right? Am I wrong?
[02:48.39] And you may say to yourself
[02:49.94] My God, what have I done?
[02:52.19] Letting the days go by
[02:54.27] Let the water hold me down
[02:56.48] Letting the days go by
[02:58.28] Water flowing underground
[03:00.50] Into the blue again

[03:25.63] Same as it ever was
[03:27.49] Same as it ever was
[03:29.25] Same as it ever was
[03:31.56] Look where my hand was
[03:33.91] Time isn't holding up
[03:35.98] Time is an asterisk
[03:38.07] Same as it ever was
[03:40.19] Same as it ever was
