[Verse 1]
Over the rooftop sails Billy
A string tied to his underwear
Through cobblestone streets a child races
And shouts, "Billy, come down from there"
"My mother's calling," his voice whimpers
A string clutched in his tiny hand
"Not til' I've seen the sky's not lit up
In tears, child, try and understand
Don't pull the string, don't bring me down
Don't make me land"
[Chorus]
Plastic palace people
Sing silent songs, they dream too long
Their memories just stare
Plastic palace Alice
She steals the cards tomorrow deals
With deafening despair
[Bridge]
Hurry, you've got to get in line
Your nose might start to shine
And sweat it out and dance about
The whole eternal life
Over the rooftop sails Billy
A string tied to his underwear
Through cobblestone streets a child races
And shouts, "Billy, come down from there"
"My mother's calling," his voice whimpers
A string clutched in his tiny hand
"Not til' I've seen the sky's not lit up
In tears, child, try and understand
Don't pull the string, don't bring me down
Don't make me land"
[Chorus]
Plastic palace people
Sing silent songs, they dream too long
Their memories just stare
Plastic palace Alice
She steals the cards tomorrow deals
With deafening despair
[Bridge]
Hurry, you've got to get in line
Your nose might start to shine
And sweat it out and dance about
The whole eternal life
