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 getting their lives together while my whole world's falling 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 where no shoes
|
Call girls and corner kids hustling saying what do you got to 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
|
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 are upon you
|
Some of the 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
|
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
|
