Now you're mad and leaving home 'Cause you say there's no one there for you to talk to Isn't it nice to go outside When you know there is no place you have to walk to You can live alone inside a crowded room And it's never, never too late, never too soon Put on your frown to go downtown You have come a long long way Even though you have no idea where you're going You ain't done a godamn thing all afternoon Your confidence is sinking like a lead balloon And it's never, never too late, never too soon I can't come down I can't come down I can't come down I can't come down I can't go on I can't go on It's not like I'm asking you to hold up the sky All the things you held so high Are you surprised to find that now they add to nothing Now you're growing old and bored Do you think that maybe you could teach me something There is nothing that you really can assume And it's never, never too late, never too soon Now you're mad I know you're mad Now you're mad I know you're mad Why don't you just tell someone It's not like you're the only one It's not like I'm asking you to hold up the sky I can teach you how to drive You can teach me how to lie Hush my darling don't you cry This could be your lullaby
