The Flatlanders - Just About TimeLyrics

Everybody's saying it's just about time But it's partly about space The rest is all about not dividing things up And leaving every last little piece in its place You can start out slow You can speed things up You can take things as they are Your average person is afraid to talk about death But not afraid of driving a car Take the whole ball of wax Stick it to the facts Life might stop on a dime Sooner or later it's now or never Don't you think it's just about time? [Chorus] Don't you think it's just about time? Don't you think it's just about time? Sooner or later it's now or never Don't you think it's just about time? You worry and you hurry and it's just about time But it's partly about space Everything that goes up must come down And nothing's in the way until it gets in your face It goes without saying that I must say Some things are better left unsaid Here and there Gone everywhere You may be just a-dreaming when you're Waking up dead Dying for love Living in fear Neither is a reason or rhyme Sooner or later it's now or never Don't you think it's just about time? Somewhere beyond the dark and the dawn Unsaid, unsung and unseen Somewhere behind the back of your mind Not beside, not before Not even in between Sitting in silence being in love Looking for a mountain to climb Sooner or later it's now or never Don't you think it's just about time? Some are denying it's just about time Some don't believe in space If you try to undo what's done been did You'll mistake the static for the thrill of the chase If time is money, space is credit They're talking about it all over town Are you rolling in the black or sinking in the red? Is gravity the only thing that's holding you down? It's hard to stop when you're picking up speed Brother can you spare me a dime? Sooner or later it's now or never Don't you think it's just about time? [Chorus]
