Goodnight Billie
Daddy called her Billie Jean
Said the ground glowed where she walked
Kept the bottles out of reach
The demons underground
But she stands a little taller now
When she surveys her memory
It was always how she did
Never how she was
Oh she was
Yes she was
She was twisted
She was angry
She was human
And almost sixteen
Nobody knows anybody
It's just hookers and bandits along the road
If you see me walking away
I just called to say "hello".
Daddy hung the moon
From a twist of fishing wire
Now the wire's wearing thin
While daddy's wearing out
And the people say I should have known him
Back in the motor days
Always with a helping hand
It's the kind of man he was
Oh he was
Yes he was
He was foolish
And he was working
He was human
And almost sixty
So goodnight Billie.
Boa Noite, Billie
Papai chamou ela de Billie Jean
Disse que o chão brilhava onde ela passava
Mantinha as garrafas fora de alcance
Os demônios lá embaixo
Mas agora ela se ergue um pouco mais
Quando revisita sua memória
Sempre foi assim que ela fez
Nunca como ela era
Oh, ela era
Sim, ela era
Ela era torta
Ela estava brava
Ela era humana
E quase dezesseis
Ninguém conhece ninguém
Só tem prostitutas e bandidos na estrada
Se você me ver indo embora
Eu só liguei pra dizer "oi".
Papai pendurou a lua
Com um pedaço de fio de pescar
Agora o fio tá se desgastando
Enquanto papai tá se cansando
E o povo diz que eu deveria ter conhecido ele
Nos tempos de motor
Sempre com uma mão amiga
Era o tipo de homem que ele era
Oh, ele era
Sim, ele era
Ele era tolo
E ele estava trabalhando
Ele era humano
E quase sessenta
Então boa noite, Billie.
