A G I can recall the warm youth of a summer day, yeah F G The sweetest lemonade, the darkest game arcade A G And Billy had a yearning in the corner of his mind, yeah F G It moved him secretly, it moved him powerfully Chorus: F C G A But prescience was lacking and the present was all F C G And his aptitudes were carelessly wasted F C G A And challenging life with the abandon of a fool F C A 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 somethin' deep within He couldn't break the chain of slow decay that seemed to drag him Just like a fatal tide Toward the other side Chorus: And Billy was a lunatic just barkin' 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 E G E G Bolt the door and throw away the key, yeah E G E G Your dim reflection is all that you can see Chorus: 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?
