Only Once Lyrics

Only once

And once it had begun

The wheels ran themselves off of the road

You were just havin' fun

You weren't hurtin' anyone

You held the lion back with your thumb

Spinning the bottle when I didn't want to play

Swaying your mood when I didn't want to say

Spinning the wheel with the wettest of clay

Lured by the smile and bitten by the fang

It was only once

Was it to feel young?

The ladder you're climbin' up only has one rung

Spinning the spool with the weakest of thread

Swayin' in the blitz and singin' with the dead

Spinnin' the spit while you're roasting my head

Swayin' in the breeze with all that off your chest

Spinning the bottle when I didn't want to play

Swaying your mood when I didn't want to say

Spinning the wheel with the wettest of clay

Lured by the smile and bitten by the fang
