Bonnie “Prince” Billy
Sixty-One
I don’t know why I was given life!
I assume it was to find
An abundance of love and money
And the things that make me feel
Like this pursuit is really real
Are flirtation and alcohol
Laying in a field of bubbles blown by lips
That I wish were always mine
Giving pass to all my troubles
Green mountain juju
And lovers’ lack of time
For an hour I was happy
I was happy...
I was happy!
And then it all
Went black
Watch me as I cave to what you need
I take you in, and all that I can see
Is your world, and I try to make it mine
Impossible, and anyway we’re out of time
Drowning in a glass of bubbles
With just a bit of wine
Giving pass to all my troubles
Intoxing juju
Destroying sense of time
For an hour I was happy
I was happy
I was happy
And then it all
Went black
