The bells rang on and on
From the town hall to the pier
Little Billy the Kid was gone
With Lucy and razor tears
Hand 'round a plastic gun
And a present from the past
The bright moon danced along
The river and the sands
"You don't know what I know
I'm not just Billy your kid
And I need someone to listen to me"
Out in the wild west
You can never show you're scared
And he gave Lucy a kiss
Said, "We'll find a world we can share
And we can play all day long
Never worried if we're no good
And sing our favourite songs
And make up our own words
'Cause they don't know what we know
Who they trying to kid
And I need someone to listen to me"
Here in this big backyard
Little Billy is fast asleep
With Lucy underneath the stars
And minds put at ease
We used to know what they know
I remember when I was just a kid
And I'd need someone to listen to me
