 LOU REED - Billy Lyrics

e17!19214,14289f!!21?

e17!19214,14289f!!21?
Billy was a good friend of mine
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
We grew up together ever since we were nine
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
We went to school, he was my best friend
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
And I thought our friendship would never end
e17!19214,14289f!!21?

e17!19214,14289f!!21?
In high school he played football
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
And me, I didn't do anything at all
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
He made touch-downs, while I played pool
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
And no one could figure out which one of us was the fool
e17!19214,14289f!!21?

e17!19214,14289f!!21?
Then we both went to collage
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
He studied medicine while I studied foliage
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
He got A's and I got D's
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
He was going for his Ph.D.
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
Then I decided to drop out
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
Things were getting a little too hot
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
Billy stayed there, became an intern and then a doctor
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
Then war broke out and he had to go
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
But not me, I was mentally unfit, or so they say, so, so
e17!19214,14289f!!21?

e17!19214,14289f!!21?
When he came back, he wasn't quite the same
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
His nerves were shot, but not me
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
Last time I saw him, I couldn't take it anymore
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
He wasn't the Billy I knew, it was like talking to a door
e17!19214,14289f!!21?

e17!19214,14289f!!21?
Billy was a friend of mine
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
I grew up with him ever since I was nine
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
We went together through school
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
And now I often wonder, which one of us was the fool
e17!19214,14289f!!21?
