Lyrics

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  
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 at the bottom of the ocean  
Remove the water at 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  
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 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 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...  
Yeah, the twister comes  
Here comes the twister  
Same as it ever was...
