Well, I'm moving faster, close to the edge
As I smoke a pack of strong cigarettes
When my [bad word] dry you won't see me cry
'Cause I know I got [bad word] 
Well, we touched the sun and went on our way
And we asked the stars [bad word] out to play
But you said goodnight when they lost their light
And my world stopped spinning 'round

What are we fighting for?
Don't you know that no one wins?
What are we fighting for?
Just give up and I'll give in

It's too late for tears
Well, it's much too, much too late

When the things you need are things you don't want
And you take the needle right to the point
I'd be heaven bound but you shoot, shoot me down
Leave me broke and bleeding on the killing floor

What are we fighting for?
Don't you know that no one wins?
What are we fighting for?
Just give up and I'll give in

It's too late for tears
Well, it's much too, much too
It's too late for tears
Well, it's much too, much too late

What are we fighting for?
Don't you know that no one wins?
What are we fighting for?
Just give up and I'll give in

It's too late for tears
Telling you - it's much too, much too late
It's too late for tears
Yeah, it's much too, much too late

It's too late for your tears

Much too, much too, much too late
Tell me, baby - why you make me wait?
Watch you drown deep deep in your fears
It's too late for tears

Watching the [bad word] dry
And they shoot, shoot, shoot me down
I won't be around
Touch the sun, make [bad word] 
Much too, much too, much too late
Much too, much too, much too late
Much too, much too, much too late
Much too, much too, much too late
