Sons of an Illustrious Father

Born Too Late
I dont have time to think about such silly little things as
they say I'm young, and I lack that certain sense of wisdom
well her expression changed to that of protest
and when she noticed that I noticed then she quickly took it back, smiling
'well yeah you're young, but to me you're perfect'
and I told her, 'you oughta know that that's really not true
you dont know some of the things that I can do. I can be mean, lord I can be cruel'
'well so can I' is all she said, as she leaned forward and kissed me on the head
as the air around the car grew cool
the stars, they were not quite aligned
and I was born at the wrong time
oh you won't be mine
and it's nobody's fault, it's just that fate has been unkind
well I'm starting to feel cold and my pants are sliding down
she said I'm warm on the car with her pants on the ground
and the wind blows around, and I know that she's lying
so lets get out of the cold, by the warm fireplace
and the dim orange glow reflects the tears falling on your face, it's no disgrace
I'll hold you if you're crying
well now thats all in the past and I'm not one to say good times can't last
I just miss her, that's about all
and now she floats around in my head
I see her lying next to me in my bed in that empty space between me and the wall

the stars, they were not quite aligned
and I was born at the wrong time
oh you won't be mine
and it's nobody's fault, it's just that fate has been unkind
well it brings me comfort to think that in some past life that maybe we were lovers, maybe she was my wife
and it brings me strife to think, that may all be an illusion
'cause when she's not around, well all my fantasies melt
and I try to play out all the cards I've been dealt
but even the best gambler can't place no bet in all this confusion
and now we're lying with our eyes closed underneath a tree,
and no one's in the park except for her and me
and she says she's gotta go home, but I act like I dont care
now I'm the one crying, and she's holding me
with her lips close to mine she whispers 'it's meant to be'
and I open my eyes
and I'm kissing nothing but air
so I'm alone in my home, in the cold moonlight
and I know in my dreams I'll be with her tonight
so I take another drink, 'cause I dont wanna think
oh I danced a ring of fire, and pushed it to the brink
and now I'm stomping on the cracks of this family ice skating rink
and the bottom's falling out, and we're all starting to sink
and now nothing, no nothing but our own love can save us
