Once Upon a Time There Was an Ocean Paul Simon

[Chorus 1]
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 get tired of sitting
And it's like a nicotine habit you're always thinking about quitting
And I think about quitting every day of the week
When I look out my window it's brown and it's bleak

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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?

[Verse 2]
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 lover the love of my life

[Chorus 2]
I figure once upon a time I was an ocean
But now I'm a mountain range
Something unstoppable set into motion
Nothing is different, but everything's changed
