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. And you may ask yourself How do I work this? And you may ask yourself Where is that large automobile? And you may tell yourself This is not my beautiful house! And 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 Under the water, carry the water Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean! Water dissolving...and water removing Letting the days go by; let the water hold me down Letting the days go by; 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/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. And you may ask yourself What is that beautiful house? And you may ask yourself Where does that highway go to? 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/let the water hold me down Letting the days go by/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, 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... Look at where my hand was time isn't holding us, time isn't after us 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... letting the days go by(x3) once in a lifetime letting the days go by(x3) once in a lifetime Album Lyrics: The Best Of Talking Heads [2004] Talking Heads "The Best Of Talking Heads [2004]" 1.
