Separated At Birth...


...reunited in an upper level semiotics seminar.








You may find yourself living in a shotgun shack.
You may find yourself in another part of the world.
You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile.
You may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife.
You may ask yourself;
Well...How did I get here?

I feel like I'm dreaming.
Somebody pinch me.
You know what? I'm a pretty sound sleeper --
that may not be enough.
Somebody shoot me in the face.

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.

We're not so different, he and I.
We get it. We go straight from the gut.
That's where the truth lies,
right down here in the gut.

You may ask yourself
How do I work this?
You may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
You may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
You may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!
And of course he brought along his lovely wife
Valerie Plame.

I'm a simple man with a simple mind.
I hold a simple set of beliefs that I live by.
Number one, I believe in America. I believe it exists.
My gut tells me I live there.
I feel that it extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and I strongly believe it has 50 states.

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

The greatest thing about this man is he's steady.
You know where he stands.
He believes the same thing Wednesday
that he believed on Monday,
no matter what happened Tuesday.
Events can change; this man's beliefs
never will.

Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...

Think about it. I haven't.
I stand by this man.
I stand by this man because he stands for things.
Not only for things, he stands on things.
Things like aircraft carriers and rubble
and recently flooded city squares.

Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
under the water
Carry the water
Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean

Get to know your family again.
Make love to your wife.
Write that novel you got
kicking around in your head.

You may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
You may ask yourself
Where does that highway go to?
You may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
You may say to yourself
My God, what have I done?
Why did we invade Iraq?
