"Two Seconds Too Late"
I'm at the scene
My records clean
But that's all about to change
I go to pick em up in front
Like the boss had arranged
It's time to roll
I'm 'bout to see
That the job had just been done
One of 'em lyin' in the doorway
Another victim of a gun
And I'm 2 seconds too late
Yea I'm too late
Three bus stops
Nine city blocks
Wondering if she'd change her plans
I had some money in my pocket
Now it's just sweat from my hands
Around the corner
I wanna warn her
But she don't give a damn for me
But there's smoke comin up from the pipes
Of her love factory
But I'm two seconds too late
Every night, Every day, In every way
I'm two seconds too late
All of the time, I always wind up
Two seconds too late
