Once In A While - Lyrics - Fiddler's Green

Fiddler's Green is a legendary supposed afterlife, where there is perpetual mirth, a fiddle that never stops playing, and dancers who never tire. Its origins are obscure, although some point to the Greek myth of the Elysian Fields as a potential inspiration.

I go to someone's house late at night I need no rest for my head, need an escape from the light I sleep all day and I dance through the night I try to fight all the devils inside I'm on the streets and in the clubs here in town Don't wanna miss all the places being turned upside down I love this feeling and I love my old town I'm a part of it, I'm a guy of renown Once in a while the road is steep and narrow winding Once in a while I play the game not knowing what I'm really doin' But when I listen to the sound to get my feet back on the ground It's the sound that keeps me going another mile I won't miss a single phone call today My home is not made for any overnight stay I leave this house and I cut my own way I can't be stopped, 'cause I refuse to obey The dance floor's packed, it's a treat for the eyes Tonight I do ignore compromise I'm sick of all that cheat and disguise I won't accept any well-meaning lies I like to roam and to act a bit weird I won't put off my plans, 'cause I live now and here So search for me, when I fail to appear And bring good news and a sixpack of beer
