Once (N.V. 1993) [Live] Songtext
von Pearl Jam

I admit it...
What′s to say...
I'll relive it...
Without pain...

Backstreet lover on the side of the road
I got a bomb in my temple that is gonna explode
I got a sixteen gauge buried under my clothes, I pray

Once upon a time
I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time
I could lose myself, yeah...

Oh, try and mimic
What′s insane...
I am in it...
Where do I stand?

Indian summer and I hate the heat
I got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat
I got my hand in my pocket, so determined, discreet
I pray...


Once upon a time
I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time
I could lose myself, yeah, yeah...

You think I got my eyes closed
But I'm looking at you the whole fucking time...

Ooh, once upon a time
I could control myself, yeah...
Once upon a time
I could lose myself, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Once, upon a time
I could love myself, yeah...
Once upon a time
I could love you, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Once
Once
Once
Once
Yeah... once, once... yeah, yeah...
Yeah... yeah, yeah... yeah, yeah... oww...
