Where is that large automobile?





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 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, once 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

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 or am I wrong?
You may say to yourself, my god, what have I done?

Into the blue again into silent water
Under the rocks and stones there is water underground
Letting the days go by, into silent water
Once in a lifetime, there is water 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
-Talking Heads


I came for the lyrics and stayed for the deranged epileptic doomsday preacherman David Byrne. Also, I suffered a seizure. That slowed me up.
