Lyrics

Sooner or later the big stuff comes around

Well, my serotonin levels, they were running low that day
And my self-medication, well, it was getting in the way
Oh, I tried to make excuses, yeah, I tried to get away
But one day you're gonna have to pay

Because sooner or later the big stuff comes around
Oh yeah, sooner or later all the big stuff comes to town
Yes it does

Well, you can call it information; you can call it experience
Oh, but suddenly the way you're living - well, it don't make any sense
Well, the magic hour is over, now it's time to pay the rent
Oh, but everything you ever had - you spent

Yeah, sooner or later the big stuff comes around
Yeah, sooner or later all the big stuff comes to town
And, yeah, it's a long way down, when the big stuff comes to town
Oh yeah

Well, the things that used to bounce off you, now hurt you deep inside
And you used to think you had the world by the balls: now it's taking you for a ride
Oh, there ain't no way to work it out and there ain't nowhere to hide
And you could not escape this if you tried

Oh, 'cos sooner or later the big stuff comes around
Yeah, sooner or later all the big stuff comes to town
Yeah, sooner or later all the big stuff comes around
Yeah, sooner or later all the big stuff comes to town
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Oh yeah...

And sooner or later all the big stuff comes around
Yeah, sooner or later all the big stuff comes to town
Well, yeah, sooner or later all the big stuff comes around
Oh, yeah, sooner or later all the big stuff comes to town
