Lyrics

BILL
Words and Music by Marc Farley c. 1997



1. It?s a lesson for the taking?it?s a story in the making

It?s a blessing and a curse the way I fell


And it?s all I can remember and all I can?t forget

I got all I need to know from Bill.


2. Long ago and far away?a figure drenched in darkness

Days that dragged him endlessly to Hell


Fear and loathing in possession he lay broken on the floor

I got all I need to know from Bill.

Chorus:
Got your Jesus?Got your Buddha

I got only me until?Ah, till?.

I got all I need to know from Bill.


3. Though I never got to thank him?and he never knew my name

It was Bill who gave me hope to still that spell!

Just some guy from out of nowhere to help me on my way

I got all I need to know from Bill.

(Repeat chorus)

I gotta? heart?I gotta? brain!

I got alive once again!

I got all I need to know?Yea, I got damn near everything from Bill.

Thank God for Bill.
