A Little Late

If I was a horse, I’d let you ride me down to the sea If I was a dove, I’d collect every olive branch I could see If I was a whirlwind, I’d steal the smoke from these city skies If I was God, I’d crash your party with no disguise With no disguise, with no disguise, I’d crash your party with no disguise. If I was a salesman, I’d sell you all of this for $19.99 If I was a teacher, there’d be no child, no child left behind And if I won the lottery, well, I’d retire and move down to the beach If you want to save yourself, you must enter two by two and each by each Oh each by each, each by each, Yeah, you have to enter two by two and each by each Oh, but I am not a horse, you’re gonna have to find your own ride down to the sea And even if I was a dove, tell me who the hell’s gonna listen to me? Gonna take more than a Texas spring tornado just to clean up these dirty city skies And God’s been here all along, among us, we just plugged our ears and covered up our eyes Yeah, we covered up our eyes, covered up our eyes, yeah, We just plugged our ears and covered up our eyes. Yeah, yeah, yeah... (instrumental) So get away from me with your sales pitch—I already got everything that I need I’ve always been a teacher, yeah, it just takes time and patience to germinate the seed And someone always wins the Lotto, and ten thousand others always lose When the water’s up above your neck, it’s a little late, a little late to choose... Too late to choose, too late to choose Too late to choose, oh, can it be... Don’t need a horse, you don’t need a horse, yeah You don’t need a horse, cause here comes the sea Here comes the sea, here comes the sea Here comes the sea... (repeat to end)
