[Intro]
[Verse]
A wise man was so prophetic
He said “in a few hours you'll be paralytic”
Howling at the moon
Singing out of tune
Far too much
Far too soon
Far too soon
[Verse]
A wise man was so prophetic
He said “in a few hours you'll probably forget it all”
And no safety net
Is ever gonna break your fall
Break your fall
[Chorus]
A wise man said to me
Did you see the fall?
A wise man said you can always call
A wise man said to me you can always call
[Verse]
A wise man was so prophetic
He said “the youth of today are ever so sceptic”
Dismissive of the voice on your shoulder
Sorry but you're young and we're older
Are gold and older
[Chorus]
A wise man said to me
You think you know it all
A wise man said you can always call
A wise man said to me you can always call
[Solo]
[Verse]
A wise man gave me the keys to the lock
Said “take the keys. Take the lot”
Did you listen?
Did you f**
Lost the keys and tried your luck
Just trying your luck
