A Day Late, a Dollar Short Lyrics by Hanoi Rocks

Twelve Shots on the Rocks

2002

[Verse 1]
Late at night as I lay down to sleep
I think of all the secrets people keep
Like how I feel for you
Do you feel it too
Or is it something we have to resume
[Verse 2]
We're just two people watching time fly by
In a world in it's obvious decline
But we are young and strong
We can carry on
Find a little Paradise of our own
[Chorus]
'Cause no one saves the day
It's no one else's fault
If you're a day late or a dollar short
[Verse 3]
Just think about how lovely life could be
Excluding all the man-made misery
If we're too far behind
And really out of time
Is there another world they plan to find?
[Chorus]
Too many dreams of youth
That we never caught
Just a day late or a dollar short
[Bridge]
We're all just lonely people
Only dyin' to fall in love
[Chorus]
Feelings that we thought
Dreams we never caught
Just a day late or a dollar short
[Chorus]
All the loneliness, the blues
Feelings so distraught
When you're a day late or a dollar short
[Chorus]
Too many dreams of youth
That we never caught
Just a day late or a dollar short
[Chorus]
And no one saves the day
It's no one else's fault
When you're a day late or a dollar short
[Outro]
Day late, dollar short
Day late, dollar short
Day late, dollar short
