Billy Gnosis lyrics

A crack developed and a name blew in

Billy Gnosis, weak and thin

He moved to California to start a new life

Because back in his hometown he just killed his wife

He started drinking heavy back then

He started eating things that made his head swim

Then his brain became a factory

For making chemicals that shouldn't be

Oh Billy couldn't remember his name

Billy Gnosis was going insane

And soaked in blue light he played and played

I can still hear the sound he made...

Billy burned his phone and blew up his car

He sat and watched TV and played the guitar

And read a book that made his head dim

How could he have known that there were worms within?

And the worms ate into his brain

Through his eyes and through his ears they came

They made a home so they could multiply

And feed on Billy's chemicals in paradise

Oh, Billy couldn't remember his name

Our unsung hero had gone insane

And soaked in blue light he played and played

The only thing that killed the worms like Raid
