too late and I already did it
too late for the roses
too late for the show
oh yes
too many words for the joker

and no pointy hat
no multicolored vest
for the clown
with his smile painted on

no free will
except for the
interpretation
and you there
you with your dreams
of multicolored flowers
leading up to
leading into
nothing other than
hope

you there
can take the measure
of your dreams
in beauty itself
and hold your head
up high
