On a hot winter night There's a single light Burning from his room It's too quiet up there And still I stare Something better move soon I yell but there's no reply I hold my breath as the seconds go by I run up with my heart in my eyes We're only having fun Billy and the Gun Yeah, I knew Christine Yeah, beauty queen of the local high Well, her 1-2-3 in Biology Drove the young boys wild Well, can't you toss away your childhood dreams? One great love may not be all it seems Well, won't you give me that damn machine? We're only having fun Billy and the Gun It's a brilliant star But it hangs so far in the Milky Way Is outer space a better place Than you live today? Well, I know you say it's just a game Touch a fire 'Till you feel the flame Well, won't you hand it over Just the same? We're only have fun Billy and the Gun You said Wouldn't it be nice To take a trip to paradise? Where the angels sing 'Cause way up there tonight They're gonna invite a new pair of wings Well, Billy You don't want a heart of steel Cause it won't hurt But baby, you won't feel And as long as the pain is real We're only having fun Billy and the Gun
