lyrics

Janie’s got a problem,
it got out of hand
she’s messing with forces she can’t understand.
But though she’s in a tailspin
with nowhere to stay
her dreams are just one
scratch-off ticket away.
Don’t it seem like a small price to pay?

When you’ve fallen behind
but you’ve made up your mind
here’s to hopin’ the reward fits the crime.
If the rumors are true
they keep whisperin’ to you
Well, you know it’s just a matter,
a matter of time,
yes, you know it’s just a matter of time.

I see by your trajectory
you’re takin’ a fall—
or maybe the sky’s upside down after all.
In which case you’re flying,
we just never know
if up’s really down till we up and let go,
now your gravity’s starting to show.

What you’re hoping to find’s
on the far distant side
of that hill it takes a lifetime to climb.
If the rumors are true
they keep whisperin’ to you
Well, you know it’s just a matter,
a matter of time,
yes, you know it’s just a matter of time.

I’m like a vintage Chevy,
I’m still on the road
but some of my parts
have begun to let go.
Now it don’t really matter
if you’re fat or you’re thin,
it’s all a moot point
once the rotting sets in,
in the end Mr. Skeleton wins...

Peel the layers away
and the onion’s passé
all you’re left with
are the tears you’ll be cryin’
If the rumors are true
they keep whisperin’ to you
Well, you know it’s just a matter,
a matter of time.
When you’ve fallen behind
but you’ve made up your mind
just keep praying
the reward fits the crime.
If the rumors are true
they keep shouting at you
all the dreams and the schemes
they keep force-feeding you,
Oooh -- ooh -- ooh…
Well, you know it’s just a matter,
a matter of time,
yes, you know it’s just a matter of time.
