Billy Radcliffe didn't go to town

And when we looked up, he was looking right down

Catching blue in his eyes that were brown

Billy Radcliffe

(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)

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)

Billy Radcliffe saw what the Devil man he saw

He saw a spot of blue in black of the eye of the Lord Such a cruel love

Is the kind that has wrought oh Billy

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 bomb

Billy Radcliffe

(Billy Radcliffe)

Billy Radcliffe very first one

Really a hatched man a light switch son

A split in half man sang the cherubim

Billy Radcliffe very first one

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 he saw

He saw a spot of blue in black of the eye of the Lord, oh, Billy

Billy Radcliffe saw what the Devil man had

And I feel very bad for William Radcliffe
