Billie Lyrics by Johnny Dowd

No Regrets

0

[Verse 1]
An ill wind blows no man good
Look behind, knock on wood
The days are envied towards the days of greed
Come into my kitchen watch the vultures feed
She was a genius, nobody cared
People laughed, cops they stared
She sang we couldn't hear
Their minds were closed and poisoned with fear
Her broken hands and her blind eyes
Her full smiles talking wide
Flapping tongues mangling words
So perverted like a walking bird
[Chorus]
Music is the mistress
Lonely hearts slaves
Billie's on a holiday
All she had she gave
[Verse 2]
Listen to the cock trying to raise the sun
Billie's dead, she ain't the only one
You know that bird was shot from the sky
The loneliest monk ignored him 'till he died
The dawn comes evil and cold
The day's new, story's old
Stranger walks in without a disguise
Of her simplicity we're terrified
[Chorus]
Music is the mistress
Lonely hearts slaves
Billie's on a holiday
All she had she gave
[Verse 3]
Giants once walked the Earth
But now they're only [?] to [?] people
With their little bitty graves
And their miniature whores
And their plastic guitars
