Truly, with his thorn in your side 
and you don't know why 
Julie dips her toe in the tide 
and she don't know why 
No, she don't know why she got 
all dolled up for a suicide 
And when the stage lights dimmed on the fading scrim, 
it was morning before the cheering died 

Is it too late to tell you that I don't mind? 

King George in imperial robe 
and a lazy eye 
knelt down as the semaphore broke 
on his tawdry bride 
But we don't know why he got 
all stressed out on the motherland 
With his T.V. sets and his fighter jets 
and the royal ubiquitous handycam 

Is it too late to tell you that I don't mind? 

Here's you with your mom on your back 
going into the woods 
She's so proud that you're staying on track 
like a good son should 
But you don't know why you got 
all choked up when you said goodbye 
And you can hear her still when the nights are still 
all crying out for calamine 

Is it too late to tell you that I don't mind? 

Is it too late to tell you that I don't mind?
