We found Billy facedown in the swimming pool Underneath the inflatable raft He'd been only under for a little while Just long enough for the water to fill his little lungs up fast Birds fled as a howl cut the air like a hot knife Adirondack chairs were lying on their backs There was no time to go in slow and get used to it And some drunk guy was spooked and mad and trying to get the facts Skin blue Lights out Just now What, how Give another fist pound, fist pound His eyes wide, but empty, open toward the clouds above A trail of blood coming out the corner of his mouth Our Billy Boy looked like he'd just seen a ghost Oh, the ghost was him and he was busting out If only we hadn't been so caught up in our own inventions Little Bill would be out there in the yard Jumping, struggling to catch those pretty pretty fireflies Dropping back for a midnight movie in the stars SongtexteSkin blue Lights out Just now What, how Give another fist pound, fist pound Aus Songtexte Mania
