Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I like stayin' with Uncle Dave
And I like playin' with his great dane
But I don't fit, I feel alien and strange
Kinda outta range
I like ridin' in my uncle's car
Down to the beach, where the pretty girls all parade
And movie stars and paparazzi play the Charles Atlas
Kickin' sand in the face game
[Verse 2]
And I sit in the canyon with my back to the sea
There's a blood red dragon on a field of green
Callin' me back, back to the Black Hills again
[Verse 3]
Ooh, ooh, Billy, come home
[Verse 4]
Billy is searchin' for his native land
Flickin' through the stations with the dial in his head
Pickin' up
And a male voice choir on the short wave band
Billy taps out Jim's number on the phone
Sits shakin' as he waits for Jim's answerin' tone
Come on, my friend, speak to me, please
The land of my fathers is calling to me
[Verse 5]
And I sit in the canyon with my back to the sea
There's a blood red dragon on a field of green
Calling me back, back to the Black Hills again
[Verse 6]
(Ooh, ooh) Billy, come home
Come on home
[Verse 7]
He sits in the canyon with his back to the sea
Sees a blood red dragon on a field of green
He hears a male voice choir singin'
Billy, come home
(Billy, Billy come home)
Come on home
[Verse 8]
I don't like fish
British
I don't like fish
[Verse 9]
(You're listening to KAOS here in Los Angeles)
I don't like fish
(Yes, we've established that, uh, do you have a request?)
Shell fish, guppy, salmon, shrimp, and crab, and lobster, flounder
I hate fish, but I think most of all I hate fresh fish
Like trout, I hate fresh trout
My least, hated, favorite fish would be sole
