David Byrne - Fantasia's Confidential Ghetto: 1999/Once in a Lifetime/Coconut lyrics

[1999] I was dreaming when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray When I woke up this morning could've sworn it was Judgement Day The sky was all purple, there were people running everywhere Trying to run from my destruction, even though I didn't even care They say 2000, zero-zero, party's over, whoops out of time So tonight, I'm gonna party like it's 1999 They say 2000, zero-zero, party's over, whoops out of time So tonight, I'm gonna cry like it's 1999 1999 [Once in a lifetime] Time isn't holding us, time isn't after us Time isn't holding us, time isn't after us Letting the days go by, letting the days go by Letting the days go by, letting the days go by You may find yourself living in a shack and shack You may find yourself in another part of the world You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile You may find yourself with a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife You may ask yourself, how did I get here Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down Letting the days go by, water flowing under ground Into the pool again, after the money's gone Once in a lifetime, water flowing under ground You may ask your self where is this house You may ask yourself where does this highway go You may ask yourself am I right or wrong You may ask 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 under ground Into the pool again, after the money's gone Once in a lifetime, water flowing under ground Same as it ever was, same as it ever was........
