Once In A Lifetime - The Night Game

Fifth floor, lorimer apartment above the warehouse

The Hasidic landlord checks on the rent

Neon lights shining off of the bodega

It’s been weeks since I got up outta bed

Pushed her farther for nothing 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, end dreamer, the angel, the sinner, the saint

Once in a lifetime

Dealer’s got 21, 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 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

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 dream of the angel, the sinner, the saint

Once in a lifetime

Dealers’s got 21, 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 safe

And you’re walking out

Once in a lifetime

Once in a lifetime

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

Once in a lifetime

Wake the dead and dream of the angel, the sinner, the saint

Once in a lifetime

Dealer’s got 21, 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 walking out

Once in a lifetime

Once in a lifetime

Once in a lifetime

Once in a lifetime

Once in a lifetime
