Just About Time - The Flatlanders

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
