Lyrics
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?

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

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

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...

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

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

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
My God!...What have I done?!

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

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 is an asterisk
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...
Yeah, the twister comes
Here comes the twister
Same as it ever was...

Loved it!

[fairestcat]

Very nice. I love the timing.

[revolutionaryjo]

Didn't look too hard at the notes/song choice before I hit play and when the opening chords started I laughed and laughed and laughed because yes, "This is not my beautiful house! This is not my beautiful wife!" Perfect! Loved the whole thing. :)

[purplefringe]

"This is not my beautiful wife!" Ahahaha, this is hilarious :-D

[unovis]

Terrific song choice. I loved the water beats in this.

[bingeling]

Heee, your song choice! So lovely! :)))

Oh this is so wonderful. I love your timing, both with the motion and with the comedy (often simultaneously!). What a great vid. <3

[odessie]

Haha this was so fun to watch!

[rhoboat]

Ahhhhmazing song choice. I really enjoyed this!

[actiaslunaris]

This is just perfectly edited! All those action sequences are magnificently put together with your song and it just flows wonderfully.

[felis]

This was so much fun to watch, the flow and humour of it, how you worked with some of the lyric/music cues and the motion in the scenes. Really love what you did with the 'letting the days go by' sections, had me grinning. :D

[swizzlespoon]

I haven't seen the movie since it was in the theaters, but I flat out laughed out loud at various points in this vid. Fun!

[franzeska]

D'awww! Their little faces!

[echan]
