Lyrics

She said to me, "go steady on me"
Won't you tell me what the wise men said?
When they came down from heaven
Smoked nine 'til seven
All the shit that they could find
But they couldn't escape from you
Couldn't be free of you
And now they know there's no way out
And they're really sorry now for what they've done
They were three wise men just trying to have some fun

Look who's alone now
It's not me. it's not me
Those three wise men
They've got a semi by the sea
Got to ask yourself the question
Where are you now?
Got to ask yourself the question
Where are you now?

Really sorry now
They want to know
They got caught up in your talent show
With you pernickety little bastards in your fancy dress
You just judge each other and try to impress
But they couldn't escape from you
Couldn't be free of you
And now they know there's no way out
And they're really sorry now for what they've done
They were three wise men just trying to have some fun

Look who's alone now
It's not me. it's not me
Those three wise men
They've got a semi by the sea
Got to ask yourself the question
Where are you now?
Got to ask yourself the question
Where are you now?

(Music solo)

Look who's alone now
It's not me. it's not me
Those three wise men
They've got a semi by the sea
Got to ask yourself the question
Where are you now?
Got to ask yourself the question
Where are you now?

Where are you now? (x2)

Got to ask yourself the question
Where are you now?
Got to ask yourself the question
Where are you now?
