fifteen minutes too late

in a way i guess you could say

that i behave in a very strange way

but just because my mama said so

doesn't mean i have to stay home

but just before i go

let me tell you baby what i know

it doesn't matter what you say

you're fifteen minutes too late

left behind you're on the outside

out of luck you've had a hard time

trying hard

you try to get there

you're getting high

you're getting nowhere

but just before you leave

let me tell you baby what i mean

it doesn't matter what you say

when you're fifteen minutes too late

from the sky the snow keeps falling

from a car somebody's calling

i'm down here beneath the street

where people drag their weary feet

yeah

just before you go

let me tell you baby what i know

and whatever you were gonna say

you're fifteen minutes too late

it doesn't matter what you say

'cause you're fifteen minutes to late
