Rock On
> Bullet with Butterfly Wings
> Once in a Lifetime
and you might ask yourself
just what am i doing in this place?
and you might ask yourself
this is not my house, this is not my wife
and you might ask yourself
i didn’t buy this beautiful car
and you might ask yourself
just where did i get all these beautiful scars?

once in a lifetime
water flowing underground
into the blue again
water flowing underground

you might ask yourself
what does this mean if it has no meaning? oh!
you might ask yourself
what do i feel if i have no better fucking feeling?
you might ask yourself
just how deep is the bottom of the ocean? yeah!
you might ask yourself
just how deep is my love and devotion?

once in a lifetime
water flowing underground
into the blue again
water flowing underground

whoa!
go!
what do i want?

poetry in motion
love is pure devotion
tangential gravity
time space continuity
(screams)

whoa!
go!
what do i want?

same as it ever was
same as it ever was
same as it was
it’s the same
once in a lifetime
once in a lifetime
in my hands, i crush the [unintelligible word]
my poetry of love is disaster but it lingers
‘cause i loved you so
i loved you so
especially, especially when you go
once in a lifetime
once in a lifetime
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

(Billy solos)
