Pretty Soon, I Don’t Know What, But Something Is Going to Happen Lyrics

Time can kill the greatest of men
Even the greatest find themselves on the floor
It doesn't have to be this way
It does not have to be like this right now

Time can kill the greatest of men
Even the greatest find themselves on the floor
On the floor
On the floor

Time keeps moving
On and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on, and on

Fragile time cannot waste away
Fragile time cannot lay to rest
Fragile time can lead you to the grave
Fragile time starts eternity

Fragile time cannot waste away
Fragile time cannot lay to rest
Fragile time can lead you to the grave
Fragile time can
It kills their walk
I watch them wash away
Kills their walk
I watch them wash away
It kills their walk
I watch them wash away
It kills their walk
I watch them wash away

It's all worth while
And time goes on
It's all worth while
And time goes on
It's all worth while
And time goes on
It's all worth while
And time goes on
It's all worth while
And time goes on
It's all worth while
And time goes on
It's all worth while
And time goes on
It's all worth while
And time goes on
And on and on...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Pretty Soon, I Don’t Know What, But Something Is Going to Happen” is a very long jam that fills the middle of the album. At 15:50, it is more than a quarter of the full album length (58:22).

The song is instrumental for the first 6:26, when the first lines of lyrics kick in.

There may be some irony in that first line being “Time can kill the greatest of men”…
