I think it was Thursday 
 I think it was late 
 1930 - eight 
 Got a letter from Hiro 
 But left out the date 
 He said he was waiting 
 For an outbreak 
 Took a look in the mirror 
 Should have been me 
 But there was nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing 
 Nothing to see 
 I draw apart the curtains 
 Trying to look downstairs 
 It was utterly futile 
 So I combed my hair 
    But all the kids in the factory say 
 "My letter from hiro came too late"   
 Communication, keeps me out of touch 
 The sense means nothing 
 Well, nothing much   
 Like the sign on the door 
 Too hard to see too soft to touch 
 The age of reason 
 Is out to lunch   
 But all the kids in the factory say 
 "My letter from hiro, came too late" 
 Too late, too late, too late   
 9 o'clock in the morning 
 Sun rising in my head 
 And I'm not quite sure if I'm just insecure 
 Or if the problem is simply that we don't understand 
 About the guns and the crossfire 
 And the social disease 
 And while the sun was rising somewhere in the east 
 And then a "frag" meant more to hiro than to me   
 And all the kids in the factory say 
 "My letter from Hiro came too late"
