Billy and the Gun

On a hot winter night
There's a single light burning from his room
It's too quiet up there and still I stare
Something better move soon

I yell, but there's no reply
I hold my breath as the seconds go by
I run up with my heart in my eyes
We're only having fun
Billy and the Gun

Yeah, I knew Christine
Yeah, beauty queen of the local high
Well, her 1-2-3 in Biology
Drove the young boys wild

Well, can't you toss away your childhood dreams?
One great love may not be all it seems
Well, won't you give me that damn machine?
We're only having fun
Billy and the Gun

It's a brilliant star
But it hangs so far in the Milky Way
Is outer space a better place
Than you live today?
Well, I know you say it's just a game
Touch a fire 'till you feel the flame
Well, won't you hand it over just the same?
We're only have fun
Billy and the Gun

You said, "Wouldn't it be nice
To take a trip to paradise where the angels sing?
'Cause way up there tonight
They're gonna invite a new pair of wings"

Well, Billy, you don't want a heart of steel
'Cause it won't hurt, but baby, you won't feel
And as long as the pain is real
We're only having fun
Billy and the Gun
