Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean
Water dissolving and water removing
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?"
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?"
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, look where my hand was
Time isn't holding up, 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 (I couldn't get no rest)
Same as it ever was, hey let's all twist our thumbs
Here comes the twister
Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
Once in a lifetime, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground

Itās my mental breakdown I get to choose the music
-
Dude, this edible aināt shi- LETTING THE DAYS GO BY
-
as I get older in life I find myself becoming more and more acquainted with the phrase "My god, what have I done"
-
"Look, Dad!!. He dances like you. Its like hes getting tazed but refuses to give up." - My daughter actually said that me about a Weird Al video, but this one fits too.
-
the only man able to do the club penguin dance
-
I'm looking for a specific comment someone left on here saying they tried to do this dance in a nightclub and got kicked out, it makes me laugh every time.
-
Tina Waymouth is one of the meanest, funkiest and most badass bassist in history. Those baselines are hypnotizing and make you want to move.
-
I was at a Penny's store shopping for some nice work clothes. I have to go to the big and tall section. My son was with me in his stroller. I stopped by the suit jackets and this song started playing in the store. I put on a large Shaquille O'Neil brand jacket and started dancing like David Byrne. Made my son crack up and my wife embarrassed.
-
Hearing this play in a supermarket was the most surreal thing I've experienced in a long time.
-
That suit is somehow too big and too small for him at the same time
-
The guitar riff at the end as Byrne settles down gives me chills.
-
That Egyptian walk he does cracks me up every time I watch it! š
-
"this edible aint shit" 20 minutes later:
-
David Byrne: Has a stroke in the studio Music video creators: "This is art."
-
This song brings me more and more comfort the older I get. This is a message we all need to absorb. "Same as it ever was"
-
You can only do this dance to THIS song.....imagine a whole club of ppl on the dance floor doing this?
-
Those have to be the most well fitting glasses ever. Them shits barely even slipped from their place
-
Iām pretty sure this is just David showing off how perfectly his glasses fit.
-
Blew my mind the first time I heard this.
-
Iām going to leave this comment here. When someone likes it, Iām reminded to listen to this masterpiece
