LA SOL
i can recall the warm youth of a summer day, yeah
FA SOL
the sweetest lemonade, the darkest game arcade,
LA SOL
and billy had a yearning in the corner of his mind.
FA SOL
it moved him secretly. it moved him powerfully.
FA DO SOL LA
but prescience was lacking and the present was not all
FA DO SOL
and his aptitudes were carelessly wasted.
FA DO SOL LA
and challenging life with the abandon of a fool
FA SOL LA
he squandered the hours of his day.
INTRO RIFF
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.
MI SOL MI SOL
bolt the door and throw away the key.
MI SOL MI SOL
your dim reflection is all that you can see.
FA DO SOL LA
so where is the justice when no one is at fault
FA DO SOL
and a human life is tragically wasted?
FA DO SOL LA
how fragile is the flame that burns within us all
FA SOL LA
to light each passing day?
SOL DO SI
