It's Too Late

By Bob Mould (1990)

Black Sheets Of Rain
Lately I've been thinking
And how the whole world's come undone
Everybody's got this sinking feeling
Feeling they're on the run
But I know a place where time stands still
I can picture it in my mind
But I'm not sure if we can get there

(There is no reason reasons rhyme
Why can't you see we're almost out of time)

It's too late, it's too late, it's too late
To cover what you've done
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late
To call for anyone at all
Well, I guess I should be so brave to think that I'm the only one who knows
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late
To cover what you've done

Oh no, we need a change (This world's stranger now)
Now is not the time to run away (There must be a way)
A way that we could listen to the warning signs so pay attention
This is my intention to prevent this fate before it gets too late

And as the hands of the clock go round and round
And the world keeps marching on
Can you afford to let it fall now?

(The fish in all the streams are dying, fluorocarbons fill the sky
And I don't really want to die before my time has come)

It's too late, it's too late, it's too late
To cover what you've done
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late
To call for anyone at all
Well, I guess I should be so brave to think that I'm the only one who knows
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late
It's too late, now now
It's too late

(Lately I've been thinking haven't had that sinking feeling now)
It's too late
(Lately I've been thinking haven't had that sinking feeling now)
It's too late
(Lately I've been thinking haven't had that sinking feeling now)
It's too late
(Lately I've been thinking haven't had that sinking feeling now)
It's too late

It's too late, it's too late, it's too late
