Late Bloomer

© 2003 Meredith DiMenna, Keith Saunders

The beat never misses

So the song can’t be denied

Blue water

Red eyes

One drink, one pull

One plate

Belly’s full

Why such a violent world, where does that come from

Is it you that is the tiger and you that tastes the blood?

Repeat

Late bloomer

With an early flower

Hot sun

Heavy rain

Late bloomer

I’m the queen of failure

I remind you of it’s charm

I get refreshed and beaten down

One pull up a day

Then I fall to the ground

I want to walk through the streets in a suit made of money

And let everybody rip and claw me

And let everybody rip and claw me

Late bloomer

I’m the queen of failure

I remind you of it’s charm

Late bloomer

With an early flower

Hot sun

Heavy rain

Bridge

Early morning sunlight

Sweet and lonely nightlife

We looked inside

We were all we wanted

We were all we had

We had nothing to hide

Early morning sunlight

Sweet and lonely nightlife

We looked inside

We were all we wanted

We were all we had

We had nothing but time

Killer instinct, your mind tries to ignore

When it wages its suppressive war

When you show your greatness

You expose your weakness

And it reduces you to pieces

Why such a violent world, where does that come from

Is it you that is the tiger and you that tastes the blood?

Repeat

Late bloomer

I’m the queen of failure

I remind you of it’s charm

Late bloomer

With an early flower

Hot sun

Heavy rain
