(Play Solo riff)
2nd Verse (Play Main Riff)
then darkness and disorder slapped him sharply in the face, yeah.
it hit him like a friend, struck something deep within.
he couldn't break the chain of slow decay that seemed to drag him
just like a fatal tie toward the other side.
2nd Chorus (Play Chorus Progression)
and billy was a lunatic, just barking at the moon,
and his brain was totally wasted.
he then exchanged his friends for a needle and a spoon
and he threw his future away.
Bridge:
bolt the door and throw away the key.

so where is the justice when no one is at fault
and a human life is tragically wasted?
how fragile is the flame that burns within us all
to light each passing day?
