Once Upon A Time There Was An Ocean

[Chorus] Once upon a time there was an ocean But now it's a mountain range Something unstoppable set into motion Nothing is different, but everything's changed [Verse 1] It's a dead end job, and you gets tired of sitting And it's like a nicotine habit you're always thinking about quitting I think about quitting every day of the week When I look out my window it's brown and it's bleak Out of here How am I going to get out of here? I'm thinking out of here When am I going to get out of here? And when will I cash in my lottery ticket And bury my past with my burdens and strife? I want to shake every limb in the garden of Eden And make every love the love of my life [Chorus] [Verse 2] Found a room in the heart of the city, down by the bridge Hot plate and TV and beer in the fridge But I'm easy, I'm open, that's my gift I can flow with the traffic, I can drift with the drift Home again? No, never going home again Think about home again? I never think about home [Chorus] [Bridge] The light through the stained glass was cobalt and red And the frayed cuffs and collars were mended by halos of golden thread The choir sang, "Once Upon A Time There Was An Ocean" And all the old hymns and family names came fluttering down as leaves of emotion [Outro] As nothing is different, but everything's changed
