[Verse 1]
AFifth floor, Lorimer aGpartment above the warehouse
The HaDsidic landlord checks on the Drent
ANeon lights shining Goff of the bodega
It's been Dweeks since I got up outta Dbed
[Verse 2]
APushed her farther for Gnothing but the silence
SomeDtimes it's nice to just be aDlone
AUp and down, trip the Grock around the dive
And someDtimes it skins me down to the Dbone
[Chorus]
Once in a Alifetime
Wake the dead, end dreamer, the Gangel, the sinner, the saint
Once in a Dlifetime
Dealer's got 21, that's DBrooklyn or maybe it's fate
Once in a Alifetime
You put the handgun down the Gbag down and give it away
Once in a Dlifetime
Got your eyes wide open the Dmoment that you could be saved
[Verse 3]
ABlue sun rising, aGwake at 11:30
With a Dheadache that's been pounding for Dmonths
ASomething is different, a Ghot indian summer
The Dbody's waking up in the Dtrunk
[Verse 4]
AHelp me I need a Gvoice I need a reason
Need Danything but smoke in my Dlungs
AFlush it down watch it Gspin around to freedom
The Dbathroom floor is temple for Dsome
[Chorus]
Once in a Alifetime
Wake the dead and dream of the Gangel, the sinner, the saint
Once in a Dlifetime
Dealers's got 21, that's DBrooklyn or maybe it's fate
Once in a Alifetime
You put the handgun down the Gbag down and give it away
Once in a Dlifetime
Got your eyes wide open the Dmoment that you could be safe
And you're walking AoutG  D  
[Pos-Chorus]
DOnce in a lifetimeA  G  D  
DOnce in a lifetimeA  
[Bridge]
It's hard to Gbelieve
It's hard to Dbelieve
DOnce in a lifetime
ADown on my knees
GDown on my knees
DWell, I'm down on myD,
Ayeahhh
GYeahhh
DYeahhh

[Chorus]
Once in a Alifetime
Wake the dead and dream of the Gangel, the sinner, the saint
Once in a Dlifetime
Dealers's got 21, that's DBrooklyn or maybe it's fate
Once in a Alifetime
You put the handgun down the Gbag down and give it away
Once in a Dlifetime
Got your eyes wide open the Dmoment that you could be safe
And you're walking out
