Gonna play the part of Billy the Kid
Cause in that life such tragedy and sorrow
There's bloody time to solve it, put it off till tomorrow
Made his name, shot his way to fame
Now, that's quite extreme
So abstract with an outlaw's act
A performer at seventeen

Billy
Billy

Gonna make an art of Billy the Kid
With that life of tragedy and sorrow
With his knife down the throat of Harlow
Always in pain, always in pain
A real fighting machine
So abstract with an outlaw's act
A superstar at seventeen

Billy
Billy

Let me play the part of Billy the Kid
I'm just gonna do what Billy did
I have to say it, I know what for
I can't go back and be the mighty Thor
Billy
Billy

Gonna play the part of Billy the Kid
In that life of tragedy and sorrow
Hanging out in limbo with a gun at Harlow
Making it plain, shoot my way to shame
Oh dear, what a scene
So abstract with an outlaw's act
A performer at seventeen

Billy
Billy

Let me play the part of Billy the Kid
I'm just gonna do what Billy did
I have to say it, I know what for
I can't go back and be the mighty Thor

Billy
Billy

Gonna make an art of Billy the Kid
With that life of tragedy and sorrow
With that night with a gun and Harlow
Playing a game called fortune and fame
With you, I think it was cheen
So abstract with an outlaw's act
A superstar at seventeen
