|
Dark clouds gather in the afternoon |
|
Come together just to cry |
|
Seagulls struggling against the wind |
|
Falling out of the sky |
|
Grandma's gathering aluminum cans |
|
In a rusty shopping cart |
|
Born-Againers get their lives together |
|
While my whole world's falling apart, apart |
|
Open up your eyes |
|
It's happening all around you |
|
If it hasn't found you |
|
Well, you know it's just a matter of time |
|
Surprise, surprise |
|
What do you think the world owes you? |
|
It's not the way it's supposed to go |
|
Well, you know it's just a matter of time |
|
Songbird sitting in a tree house |
|
With a trumpet to her lips |
|
I'm laying on my back in the tall green grass |
|
Staring up at the eclipse |
|
Whispers lurking in the alley behind |
|
Where the children wear no shoes |
|
Call girls and corner kids hustling |
|
Saying, what do you got to lose, lose |
|
Open up your eyes |
|
It's happening all around you |
|
If it hasn't found you |
|
Well, you know it's just a matter of time |
|
It's just a matter of |
|
Surprise, surprise |
|
What do you think the world owes you? |
|
It's not the way it's supposed to go |
|
Well, you know it's just a matter of time |
|
And there's nowhere you can run to |
|
Because the eyes, they are on you |
|
You, you, you, you, you |
|
Some of them coming up hard and hungry |
|
Stepping up to take your turn |
|
Some of them throwing their money in the fire |
|
Just to watch it burn |
|
Open up your eyes |
|
It's happening all around you |
|
If it hasn't found you |
|
Well, you know it's just a matter of time |
|
That's right, surprise, surprise |
|
What do you think the world owes you? |
|
It's not the way it's supposed to go |
|
Well, you know it's just a matter of time |
|
It's just a matter of |
|
It's a matter of, it's just a matter of |
|
It's a matter of time |
|
It's just a matter of, a matter of |
|
Just a matter of time |
|
It's just a matter of time |
