[David Byrne Verse]

And you may ask yourself:
"High on what?"
And you may ask yourself:
"Why do they always say 'Get smoked'?"
And you may tell yourself:
"My god, the mexican is called Maria Juana!"

[Chorus]
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
