Lifejacket Lyrics by Shadrow

Bed in Breakfast

2024

[Verse 1: David Byrne]
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?"

[Chorus: David Byrne]
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

[Post-Chorus: Shaun Ryder & June Foray]
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up, it's coming up
Now here's somеthing we hope you'll really likе

[Interlude: 2-D]
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca; feel good
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca; feel good

[Verse 2: David Byrne]
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"

[Chorus: David Byrne]
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

[Post-Chorus: Shaun Ryder]
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's dare

[Bridge: John Lennon & Paul McCartney, David Byrne]
Hold me, love me (Same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
Hold me, love me (Same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
Hold me, love me (Same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
Hold me, love me (Same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
Hold me, love me (Same as it ever was, same as it ever was)

[Interlude: 2-D]
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca; feel good
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca; feel good

[Verse 4: David Byrne]
You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?"
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?"

[Chorus: David Byrne, John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
Letting the days go by (Eight days a week)
Letting the days go by (Eight days a week)
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground

[Post-Chorus: Shaun Ryder]
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's dare

[Outro: John Lennon & Paul McCartney, David Byrne, 2-D]
(Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca) (Same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
Hold me, love me (Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca) (Same as it ever was and look where my hand was)
Hold me, love me (Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca) (Time isn't holding up, time isn't after us)
Hold me, love me (Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca) (Same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
Hold me, love me (Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca) (Same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
(Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca) (Same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
(Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca) (Same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
