Every Once In A While

Hey, what's the big idea?
 Come on now, don't leave me standing here
 I'm just watching all the clouds go by
 Just like clock hands on the face of the sky
 Every once in a while everything comes together
 Every once in a while everything turns out right
 Hey, as a matter of fact
 Like a lost child at the vanishing act
 I'm just watching, watching my future take flight
 Just like black holes in the wings of the night
 Everybody only gets lucky sometimes
 Everybody is always changing sides
 So you'd be wise to know your enemy
 Soon they'll be moving in next door
 They'll come to show you to your destiny
 And they won't be empty handed anymore
 ♪
 Hey, it's like a one-man show
 Everybody's in, there's nobody to go
 I'm just watching all the tables turn
 Just like smoke rings from a slash and burn
 Every once in a while (every once in a while)
 Everything goes to pieces
 Every once in a while (every once in a while)
 Everything must divide
 Hey, why, you're acting so strange
 It's all just static, I must be out of range
 I'm just watching my reality bend
 Just like wild flowers at the season's end
 Won't somebody (won't somebody)
 Tell me everything's gonna be fine
 Won't somebody (won't somebody)
 Tell me everything'll be alright
 'Cause I can't take too much more of this
 I could never stand it anyway
 I guess it's easy to afford all the risk
 When you're not the one that's gonna have to pay
