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?

Where are you now?



Really sorry now,

They weren't to know.

They got caught up in your talent show,

With you pernickety little bastards in your fancy dress,

Who 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.

Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going).

Holds his head in disgrace (he can't escape the truth).

He knows the price that he's paid.

He admits that it's too late to admit that he's afraid.

Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.

The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.

Old doors are closed but he's always open,

To relive time in his mind.

Oh Billy.



Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going).

He's got lines on his face (they tell the story of his pain).

He accepts it's his fate.

He admits it took too long to admit that he was wrong.

Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.

The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.

Old doors are closed but he's always open,

To relive time in his mind.

Oh Billy.



Once he was a lover sleeping with another.

Now he's just known as a cheat.

And he wish he'd had a mirror; looked a little clearer.

Seen into the eyes of the weak.

Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.

The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.

Old doors are closed but he's always open,

To relive time in his mind.

Oh Billy.
