(Where you are? Where you've been?)
No better than, oh, no no, no no
(Where you are? Where you've been?)
Forget about the meter man these are salad days
(Where you've gone? Oh, no)
(Where you've been?)
(Where you are? Where you've been?)
Dishing out the wisdom of this reflexive age
No better than Sylvia
Here's a mark, he's a mark on the page
Keep telling yourself there's more to you than her
No no no, no no no, no no no
(Where you are? Where you've been?)
No better than Sylvia
The one before and after we shook hands
(Where you've gone? Oh, no)
But you're no better than Sylvia
Comes on radio, comes on what's being said
Remember that it came at a steep price
Taking the calls but in all forgetting what's been said
Ain't no one watching you exit Ventura Highway
No better than Sylvia
No better than Sylvia
So when you do that line tonight
No better than Sylvia
It's like I knew two of you man
No better than Sylvia
And after dark in a cab in L.A.
No better than Sylvia
No better than, oh, no no, no no
Dotting the eyes with an eye for defining what you were
(Where you've gone? Where you've been?)
