Lou Reed Billy
Billy was a good friend of mine We grew up together ever since we were nine We went to school, he was my best friend And I thought our friendship would never end In highschool he played football And me, I didn't do anything at all He made touch-downs, while I played pool And no one could figure out, which one of us was the fool Then we both went to collage He studied medicine, while I studied foilage He got "A's", and I got "D's" He was going for his P.H.D. The I decided to drop out Then I decided to drop out Things were getting a little to hot Billy stayed there, became an intern, then a doctor Then war broke out and he had to go But not me, I was mentally unfit or so they say, so, so When he came back, he wasn't quite the same His nerves were shot, but not me Last time I saw him, I couldn't take it anymore He wasn't the Billy I knew, it was like talking to a door Billy was a friend of mine I grew up with him ever since we were nine We went together to school And now I often wonder, which one of us was the fool
