Lyrics

Fifth floor Lorimer apartment above the warehouse
The Hasidic landlord checks on the rent
Neon lights shinin' off of the bodega
It's been weeks since I got up out of bed
Pushed her farther for nothin' 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
Once in a lifetime
Wake the dead and dreamer
The angel, the sinner, the saint
Once in a lifetime
Dealer's got twenty-one, 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
Blue sun risin', awake at eleven-thirty
With a headache that's been poundin' for months
Somethin' is different, a hot Indian summer
The body's wakin' up in the trunk
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
Once in a lifetime
Wake the dead and dreamer
The angel, the sinner, the saint
Once in a lifetime
Dealer's got twenty-one, 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
And you're walkin' out
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
It's hard to believe
It's hard to believe
Once in a lifetime
But I'm down on my knees
I'm down on my knees
Well, I'm down on my
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Once in a lifetime
Wake the dead and dreamer
The angel, the sinner, the saint
Once in a lifetime
Dealer's got twenty-one, 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
And you're walkin' out
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Once in a lifetime
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Once in a lifetime
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Once in a lifetime
