Billy |
| I can recall the warm youth of a summer day, yeah |
| The sweetest lemonade, the darkest game arcade |
| And Billy had a yearning in the corner of his mind, yeah |
| It moved him secretly, it moved him powerfully |
| But prescience was lacking and the present was all |
| And his aptitudes were carelessly wasted |
| And challenging life with the abandon of a fool |
| He squandered the hours of his day, yeah |
| Then darkness and disorder slapped him sharply in the face, yeah |
| It hit him like a friend, struck something deep within |
| He couldn’t break the chain of slow decay that seemed to drag him |
| Just like a fatal tie, toward the other side |
| And Billy was a lunatic just barking at the moon |
| And his brain was totally wasted |
| He then exchanged his friends for a needle and a spoon |
| And he threw his future away, yeah |
| Bolt the door and throw away the key, yeah |
| Your dim reflection is all that you can see |
| So where is the justice when no one is at fault |
| And a human life is tragically wasted? |
| How fragile is the flame that burns within us all |
| To light each passing day, yeah |
