Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's never too late
For a wide-open slate
A kiss from a stranger
A thousand first dates
You're an iron man, baby
To hell with Heaven's Gate!
There's not a moment too soon
If it's never too, never too late
[Verse 2]
Oh, it's never too late
To go shoot out the moon
We'll go dancing in graveyards
You can keep your balloons
Be a runaway bride
Trading gypsies for grooms
If it's never too late for a moment too soon
[Chorus]
Darling, don't bore me
With the same old tired story
What's new in the news?
Who's hot? Where's the glory?
Only dwell in the past for laughing at time
Don't the years make jokes of all of us?
Let the whole
Let the whole
Century slide
[Verse 3]
There's a last time for everything
But we won't ever know
It's a slow dance on a carousel
A walk in the snow
Don't let it cross your mind
Keep a smile upon your lips
And spin 'round the sun like the veil never slips
[Chorus]
Darling, don't bore me
With the same old tired story
What's new in the news?
Who's hot? Where's the glory?
Only dwell in the past for laughing at time
Don't the years make jokes of all of us?
Let the whole
Let the whole
Century slide
Century slide
[Verse 4]
Oh, it's never too late
For a wide-open slate
A kiss from a stranger
A thousand first dates
You're an iron man, baby
To hell with Heaven's Gate!
It's not a moment too soon
If it's never too, never too late
It's not a moment too soon
If it's never too, never too late
It's not a moment too soon
If it's never too late
