It may be too late to learn ancient Greek<\/span>
Under a canopy of gnats<\/span>
It may be too late to sail to Mozambique<\/span>
With a psychotic cat<\/span>
It may be too late to find a cure<\/span>
Too late to save your soul<\/span>

It may be too late to lose the heat<\/span>
It may be too late to find your feet<\/span>
It may be too late to draw a map<\/span>
To the high desert of your heart<\/span>
It may be too late to lose the poor<\/span>
It\u2019s never too late for rock\u2019n\u2019roll<\/span>

It may be too late to dance like Fred Astaire\u00a0<\/span>
Or Michael Jackson come to that<\/span>
It may be too late to climb the stair<\/span>
And find the key under your mat<\/span>
It may be too late to think that you\u2019re<\/span>
Never too late for rock\u2019n\u2019roll<\/span>

We have to believe a couple of good thieves can still seize the day<\/span>
We have to believe we can still clear the way<\/span>
We have to believe we\u2019ve found some common ground<\/span>
We have to believe we have to believe<\/span>
We can lose those last twenty pounds<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
