Audrey Auld Mezera Billy Joe
Billy Joe had a dream
A song to fall back on
When the 9 to 5 wanted its pound
He packed his bag and broke his word
To Brenda and his baby
Came home too broke
To feed their hungry mouths
So he asked the lord
To show him the answer
With his boy
He found the way
Said "slow down eddy"
But it all kept getting faster
Till his angel fell
Now only dreams
Come out to play
If you're a chunk of coal
I'm a grain of sand
It's like the baby Jesus
Joined the devil's band
If you're a tramp
Then I'm a dog at heel
I'll walk your streets
But I'll never know how you feel
Now he drowns in blood
Thicker than water
Dreams scattered to the wind
When he finds his wings
He'll fly to join them
His next of kin
The fallen angel band
If you're a chunk of coal
I'm a grain of sand
It's like the baby Jesus
Joined the devil's band
If you're a tramp
Then I'm a dog at heel
I'll walk your streets
But I'll never know how you feel
When he finds his wings
He'll fly to join them
His next of kin
The fallen angel band
