Late Bloomer

Life's a wild ride Operating machinery unqualified Hanging by my ankles and swinging side to side Really must have been a sight You were on the rails Hanging by the coattails of your mother's fears But you were never like them You were more of a late bloomer Really could have fooled us all We carry on, we carry on Don't you know The lightning breaks, the darkness makes A hero of us all Water out of a chalice Could be the only joker in this modern palace I was only 19 when I thought Well this must be a bad dream Something keeps ya hanging on You could make me laugh Doing high kicks in the middle of this tourist trap Never have to explain Really start to amaze ourselves Even when we get it wrong We carry on, we carry on Don't you know The lightning breaks, the darkness makes A hero of us all Lightning breaks, the darkness makes A hero of us all Lightning breaks, the darkness makes A hero carry on Lightning breaks, the darkness makes A hero carry on
