Richard Watson - A House Afire Live

Billy went to jail for a stolen tv
The county was broke so they set him free
Now he's back home raising hell on the first of the month
He's taking pills in the morning to get out of bed
A couple more pills for the voice in his head
Breaking the mirrors that remind him of what used to be

He screams and he screams from the top of the stairs
But nobody hears nobody cares
He says boys
Are we having fun yet

He lit his first fire when he turned thirteen
Said it was the prettiest thing that he'd seen
Watching his grandmamas house turn into the sun
He sleeps on the couch since two thousand three
She sleeps on the floor they make a strange team
As long as he's taking his pills and she keeps her nose clean

And he screams and he screams from the top of the stairs
But nobody hears so nobody cares
He says boys
Are we having fun yet
Are we having fun yet

And he burns
And he burns
And he burns
And he burns

And he screams and he screams from the top of the stairs
But nobody hears so nobody cares
He says boys
Are we having fun yet
Are we having fun yet

Billy went to jail for a stolen tv
The county was broke so they set him free
Now he's back home raising hell on the first of the month
