The Night Game - The Night Game

Once In a Lifetime

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

I 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 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 then back 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
Dealer's got 21, that's Brooklyn or maybe it's fate
Once in a lifetime
You put the handgun down then back down and give it away
Once in a lifetime
Got your eyes wide open the moment that you could be saved
Then 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
I'm down on my knees
Down on my knees
Well, I'm down on my
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

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 then back down and give it away
Once in a lifetime
Got your eyes wide open the moment that you could be saved
Then you're walking out

Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
