| | Once in a Lifetime Lyrics Artist(Band):Talking Heads
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 stones/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 stones/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 isn't holding us Time isn't holding us Time isn't after us Time isn't holding us [unknown line] 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...

Review about Once in a Lifetime Existencialism | Reviewer: Simone de Beauvoir | 6/29/2008 Ποταμοῖς τοῖς αὐτοῖς ἐμβαίνομέν τε καὶ οὐκ ἐμβαίνομεν, εἶμέν τε καὶ οὐκ εἶμεν -Heraclitus- Patamois tois autois embainomen te kai ouk embainomen, eimen te kai ouk eimen. I would translate: "Cross and we not cross the same river, we are and we are not". This song for me recalls you are not the same before or after cross the river. Neither be the same the second time you cross the same river. This song is pure existencialism!! Is when you question yourself and when you act that you know and be you. :) Sorry my bad english :$ Existentialism | Reviewer: Raul Madrigal | 2/29/2008 I think this is an amazing song. It's quite deep, and I believe it's a song about existentialism. Whish is to say that you are aware you exist, but you don't "Wel.. How did I get here?" and you could end up anywhere in life searching for meaning. And since my favorite book, "The Stranger" communicates the same thing, this is one of my favorite songs. Insane but clever | Reviewer: Sailor Alpha Centauri | 12/27/2005 I really enjoy this song. It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense on the surface, but that's the beauty of Talking Heads songs -- taken at face value they border on the nonsensical. This was the group at their prime; a song which demonstrates by the fluidity of the music the perpetual motion of water and how life, as water, can move you in unexpected directions. If you're a fan of 80s new-age/art rock music, I recommend giving this song a listen. As is life, the only thing perpetual about water is that it is always moving and changing.
