Late in the afternoon, october Lights be coming on soon Late in the afternoon, a little older Be turning the clocks back soon But you can't turn the clocks back, can you?
I'm not a novelty You know every inch of me Please don't begin to doubt me Forget what you love about me
Look out your high window, november A carpet of leaves below You never saw through me, remember And it wouldn't take that much For something to kick away this crutch
I'm not a mystery You know everything about me I stand here every night In fluorescent bathroom light
Every blemish, every scar You know how they got there And where they are So don't get bored anytime soon 'cause it's late It's late in the afternoon
