Once In A Lifetime

verse 1 Fifth floor, Lorimer apartment above the warehouse The Hasidic landlord checks on the rent Neon lights shining off of the bodega It's been weeks since I got up outta bed verse 2 Pushed her farther for nothing but the silence Sometimes it's nice to just be alone Up and down, trip the rock around the dive And sometimes it skins me down to the bone Chorus Once in a lifetime Wake the dead, end dreamer, the angel, the sinner, the saint Once in a lifetime Dealer's got 21, that's Brooklyn or maybe it's fate Once in a lifetime You put the handgun down the bag down and give it away Once in a lifetime Got your eyes wide open the moment that you could be saved verse 3 Blue sun rising, awake at 11:30 With a headache that's been pounding for months Something is different, a hot indian summer The body's waking up in the trunk verse 4 Help me I need a voice I need a reason Need anything but smoke in my lungs Flush it down watch it spin around to freedom The bathroom floor is temple for some Chorus Once in a lifetime Wake the dead and dream of the angel, the sinner, the saint Once in a lifetime Dealers's got 21, that's Brooklyn or maybe it's fate Once in a lifetime You put the handgun down the bag down and give it away Once in a lifetime Got your eyes wide open the moment that you could be safe And you're walking out Pos-Chorus Once in a lifetime Once in a lifetime Bridge It's hard to believe It's hard to believe Once in a lifetime Down on my knees Down on my knees Well, I'm down on my, yeahhh Yeahhh Yeahhh Yeahhh Chorus Once in a lifetime Wake the dead and dream of the angel, the sinner, the saint Once in a lifetime Dealers's got 21, that's Brooklyn or maybe it's fate Once in a lifetime You put the handgun down the bag down and give it away Once in a lifetime Got your eyes wide open the moment that you could be safe And you're walking out Pos-Chorus Ooh-ooooh-ooooh-ooh Ooh-ooooh-ooooh-ooh Ooh-ooooh-ooooh-Once in a lifetime Ooh-ooooh-ooooh-ooh Ooh-ooooh-ooooh-ooh Ooh-ooooh-ooooh-Once in a lifetime
