Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
First floor, one-room apartment above the warehouse
The big city glamour checks on the rent
Neon lights shinning 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 'round the dive
And sometimes it gets me down to the bone

[Chorus]
Once in a lifetime
Wake the dead and dream of the angel, the sinner, the saint
Once in a lifetime
Do you lose [?] 21, I spoke clear, baby, it's fake
Once in a lifetime
You put the hand gun down, back down and give it away
Once in a lifetime
Got your eyes wide open the moment that you could be safe

[Verse 3]
Red 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 the 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
Do you lose [?] 21, I spoke clear, baby, it's fake
Once in a lifetime
You put the hand gun down, back down and give it away
Once in a lifetime
Got your eyes wide open the moment that you could be safe

[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

[Chorus]
Once in a lifetime
Wake the dead and dream of the angel, the sinner, the saint
Once in a lifetime
Do you lose [?] 21, I spoke clear, baby, it's fake
Once in a lifetime
You put the hand gun down, back down and give it away
Once in a lifetime
Got your eyes wide open the moment that you could be safe

[Pos-Chorus]
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
