Under some dirty words
on a dirty wall
Eating take out by myself
I played the shows
Got back in the van and put the
Walkman on
And you were playing
In some other dive a thousand
miles away
I played a thousand times before
And like pathetic stars
the truck stops and the
rock club walls I always knew
You saw them too
But you never will again
It's too late
Don't you know
It's been too late
For a long time
Elliott man
you played a fine guitar
And some dirty basketball
The songs you wrote
Got me through a lot
Just wanna tell you that
But it's too late
It's too late
No don't you know
it's been too late
for a long time
Oh no
Things were looking up
Least that's what I heard
Oh no
Someone came and washed away your
hard earned
Peace of mind
When desperate static
beats the silence up
A quiet truth to calm you down
The songs you wrote
Got me through a lot
Just wanna tell you that
But it's too late
It's too late
No don't you know
It's been too late
For a long time
It's too late
It's too late
No don't you know
It's been too late
For a long time
Under some dirty words
on a dirty wall
Eating take out by myself
I played the shows
Got back in the van and put the
Walkman on
And you were playing
In some other dive a thousand
miles away
I played a thousand times before
And like pathetic stars
the truck stops and the
rock club walls I always knew
You saw them too
But you never will again
It's too late
Don't you know
It's been too late
