Billy Radcliff Lyrics

Billy radcliffe didn’t go to town and when he looked up he was really looking
down catching blue in his eyes that were brown billy radcliffe
Billy radcliffe owned by the state from his first breath to the cemetery gate
he was the first boy born in space billy radcliffe
Billy radcliffe very first one he really had lived just a cursed son a split in
half man sang the cherubim billy radcliffe
Billy radcliffe saw what the devil man saw a spot of blue in the black of the
eye of the lord such a cruel love is the kind that has wrought billy radcliffe
Billy sadly didn’t live long he had to stay there because he wasn’t too strong
he’s stepping out the door blowing up like a bomb billy radcliffe
Billy radcliffe very first one really a hatched man a light switch son a split
in half man sang the cherubim I bet you cried when he died now didja, now
didja? 
Now billy radcliffe saw what the devil man saw a spot of blue in the black of
the eye of the lord now billy radcliffe saw what the devil had and I feel very
bad for william radcliffe
