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? 

[Chorus]
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 

[Chorus]
 
[Repeat: x8]
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 

[Chorus: x2]

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? 

[Chorus: x2]

Same as it ever was [Repeat: x3] 
Look where my hand was 
Time isn't holding up 
Time is an asterisk 
Same as it ever was [Repeat: x6]
Yeah, the twister comes 
Here comes the twister 
Same as it ever was
