Just About Time Songtext
von The Flatlanders

Everybody′s sayin' it′s just about time
But it's partly about space
The rest is all about not dividin' things up
And leavin′ every last little piece in its place
You can start out slow, you can speed things up
You can take things as they are
Average person is afraid to talk about death
But not afraid of drivin′ 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?
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 sayin′ that I must say
Some things are better left unsaid
Here and there and gone everywhere
You may be just a-dreamin' when you′re wakin' up dead

Dyin' for love, livin′ in fear
Neither is 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

Sittin' in silence, bein′ in love
Lookin' for a mountain to climb
Sooner or later, it′s now or never
Don't you think it's just about time?


Some are denyin′ it′s just about time
And some don't believe in space
If you try to undo what′s done been did
You only stick to static for the thrill of the chase
Time is money, space is credit
They're talkin′ 'bout it all over town
Are you rollin′ in the black or sinkin' in the red?
Is gravity the only thing that's holdin′ you down?

It′s hard to stop when you're pickin′ 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?
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?

Sooner or later, it's now or never
Don′t you think it's just about time?
