Best Pretenders

Who saves the best for last

And why'd we go and make it so strange

Coming round the corner fast

Just hoping for a open lane

The minutes are exploding glass

And the hours go on for days

It's the same old dysfunctional cast

Making all the tired mistakes

All of the best pretenders

Why, oh, why must we wait

I'm forty five minutes too late

I'm forty five minutes too early

I'm forty five minutes too late

I'm forty five minutes too early

Here comes the prodigal son

Burning the wake into day

The steel-scented hit and run

Coming out the barrel of your face

Who saves the best for last

And why we go and make it so strange

Coming round the corner fast

Just hoping for an open lane

All of the best pretenders

Why, oh, why must we wait

We don't need tomorrow

If all we can see is today

I'm forty five minutes too late

I'm forty five minutes too early

I'm forty five minutes too late

I'm forty five minutes too early

I'm forty five minutes too late

I'm forty five minutes too early

I'm forty five minutes too late (I'm forty five minutes too late)

I'm forty five minutes too early (I'm forty five minutes too early)

I'm forty five minutes too late (I'm forty five minutes too late)

I'm forty five minutes too early (I'm forty five minutes too early)

Who saves the best for last

And why we'd go and make it so strange
