The Late Mr. Late

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge 1]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge 2]
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

[Outro]
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)
