Too late Always too late Seems I never make it on time I'm never on time Seems like I can't take it When I get to work late Oh well the door shuts right in my face Always too late Always late I once knew, there's someone who Said she'd marry me I say "sure it's ok" Call around to carry me I'll see you at the church at ten And then it happened again Always too late It's my fate So when the sun is shining Bright high up in the sky I find myself a mountain Away from it all I lay down just Like I know, get up and go Nothing to worry me Can't move, stuck in a groove Nothing to hurry me The green don't wait for the red Ah boy it's hard in a hospital bed Always too late Always late And when it's time for dying And I am laid to rest The preacher will be crying Here is the bier, but he isn't here The late Mr. Late (Late Mr. Late) Whoa, the later Mr. Late (Late Mr. Late) The late Mr. Late (Late Mr. Late) Whoa, the late mister (Late Mr. Late) Late, oh late Mr. Late (Late Mr. Late) Ow! (Late Mr. Late)
