lyrics

Predictions for your life made by you and many others
But mostly you just aren’t comin’ true
Too bad, so sad
You’ve got a few options now for who to punish
Will it be you alone or you and others?
Perhaps I shouldn’t speak to you
But to your various addictions

The failures your perceive are mostly in your mind
But they could come to pass
If you just set them as you seem to have to do
Get off your ass.
Though you seem to think you won’t
You know you’ll lose completely if you don’t

And you tell yourself, as you should:
It’s not too late you turn back now

Compulsions of a sort you understand
In that you might predict what they’ll do
Or what they’ll make you do
Or what you make them your excuse for
Who d’ya think convinced them
To appear and have them cultivated?
To rid your mind of strictures seemed a good idea
At the time

Alone now from the start it’s that way
Others do not share your problems
Nor should they, they’ve got enough to do
What with all you put them through
No one else lives beneath your skin.
No one else gets you in the state you’re in

It’s too late to tell them that you’re sorry
Too late to see you broken-hearted
Too late to fall down in despair
Too late to throw hands in the air
Too late to promise to be cute
Too late to call a prison moot

Too late to bend and bow and sway
Too late to just be blown away,
Too late to have a heart attack
Too late to get your money back
Too late to regress to a child
Too late to limit something wild
Too late to hypothermeate
Too late to let blood permeate
Your jealous rage for being you
Or be imbued with something new,
Too late to drive you to distraction
Too late for positive reaction
Whatever law you will allow
It’s not too late to turn back now

You betcha I will
