From wishing I was somewhere other
Than where I should be
I've learnt to value poetry over punctuality
And the glaze in my eyes
Well it's daily applied
From a fog bank that follows me
Been living on the downtime
Living on the cheap
And if you try to sell me things
I'll say they're not for me
For the luxury wares they can never compare
With the reverie I'm getting free
You're never gonna guess
How I got into this mess
You're never gonna guess
How I got into this
(You're never)
You're never gonna guess
(You're never) No
(You're never)
(You're never)
Some people have a calling
And some others drift along
While either one's as likely to say
Hey you've got it wrong
Neither one's satisfied when the answer they find
Is the one they had all along
You're never gonna guess
How I got into this mess
You're never gonna guess
How I got into this
(You're never)
You're never gonna guess
(You're never) No
(You're never)
You're never gonna guess
How I got into this mess
You're never gonna guess
How I got into this
(You're never)
You're never gonna guess
(You're never) No
(You're never)
And they will tell you
Here & now is a present you should buy
But it won't be for lack of trying
So caught up in the wherefores and the whys
That even sometime passes me by
Here & now will be wasted on you all
And I reply
From wishing I was somewhere other
Than where I should be
I've learnt to value poetry over punctuality
(You're never)
You're never gonna guess (You're never)
(You're never)
You're never gonna guess
How I got into this mess
You're never gonna guess
How I got into this
(You're never)
You're never gonna guess
(You're never) No
(You're never)
(You're never)
You're never gonna guess
(You're never) No
(You're never)
(You're never)
(You're never)
You're never gonna guess, no no
Oh oh
(You're never)
You're never never never gonna guess
(You're never)
(You're never) oh
(You're never)
(You're never)
