Once in a lifetime, the suffering of fools To find our way home, to break in these palms Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime) Once in a lifetime Give me a shot at the night Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious Give me a shot at the night Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious Once in a lifetime, the breaking of the roof To find that our home, has long been out grown Draw me a life line, 'cause honey I got nothing to lose Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime) Once in a lifetime Give me a shot at the night Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious Give me a shot at the night Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious Give me a shot at the night Look at my reflection in the mirror Underneath the power of the light Give me a shot at the night Give me a shot at the night Give me a shot at the night I feel like I'm losing the fight Give me a shot at the night Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious Give me a shot at the night Give me a shot at the night Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious Give me a shot at the night Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious Give me a shot at the night Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious Give me a shot at the night
