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 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...

I recall seeing their movie when it came out - forget the name of the movie. This is interesting. What do you think "water" is an analogy for?
