The Vapors - Billy

Billy was a landmine to his friends
But he would never get excited ‘till the end
You can see him in the corner there all alone
And if you see him on the street he says he’s on his way home
But he don’t go home
He’s got his books to read, he’s got his life to lead at night
We’ve been sittin’ round the tables and too long
And we’ve been making out that there was nothing wrong
And time is nothing when there’s nothing left to say
And time goes slow on Billy’s silent holiday
But he don’t go home
He’s got it all sewn up; he’s got his life to lead at night
He’s forever on crossbones cycle at home so his mama don’t know
Billy’s been bending some their rules at the Saturday Show
Come on Billy!
Billy was a landmine to his friends
But he would never get excited ‘till the end
He built a city in his head and went to live up there too
Man who knows made him an inmate in an urban zoo
But he don’t go home

They got him all sewn up; they got his life to lead at night
Oh he’s forever on crossbones cycle at home so his mama don’t know
Billy’s been bending some their rules at the Saturday Show
Come on Billy! Buh-buh-buh Billy! Billy! Billy! Billy! Billy! Billy!
Don’t ever change
Not even for a little while
Don’t ever change
I love you just the way you are
I don’t understand, I’ve never done a thing to you
Don’t ever change
Don’t ever start to ask me to
Don’t ask me to, won’t ask you to
Don’t ever change
Not even for a little while
Don’t ever change
I love you just the way you are
I don’t understand, I’ve never done a thing to you
Don’t ever change
Don’t ever start to ask me to
Don’t ask me to, won’t ask you to
Hah!
