            And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
            And you may find yourself in another part of the world
            And you may find yourself behind the wheel
            Of a large automobile, and you may find yourself
            In a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
            And you may ask yourself - well, how did I get here?

                                Letting the days go by - letting 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 - letting 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
                                                                                  (G)(A)(A)  (A)(F#)(F#) (x4)

            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 - letting 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

            And you may ask yourself - what is that beautiful house?
            And you may ask yourself - where does that highway go?
            And you may ask yourself - am I right? am I wrong?
            And you may say to yourself - my god, what have I done?!

                                Letting the days go by - letting 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

                                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

                                                    Letting the days go by
                                                    Letting the days go by
                                                    Letting the days go by
