It`s Too Late — текст песни (Jim Carroll)

It`s too late
To fall in love with Sharon Tate
But it`s too soon
To ask me for the words I want carved on my tomb

I think it`s time that you all start
To think about gettin` by
But I have that need to go out and find somebody to love

It`s too late
There`s no one left that I even wanna imitate
You see, you just don`t know
I`m here to give you my heart
And you want some fashion show

But it ain`t no contribution
To rely on an institution
To validate your chosen art
And to sanction your boredom
And let you play out your part

It`s too late
You know when they got nothin` to give
They only part their legs for what`s negative
They`re so decadent . . .
Until their daddy`s money from home`s all spent

So I think it`s time, because it`s too easy
To rely on worshipping devils and strangers in bed,
Though they do get good drugs, and they do give good head

It`s too late
You shoulda realized I was worth the wait
Ah, but you didn`t hesitate
When he took you off, you let him seal our fate

So I think it`s time
that you all start
To think about gettin` by
Without that need to go out and find
Somebody to love
