He's never seen with the regular crowd
'Cause he digs staying underground
His father says: Billy, use your head
His mother cries, she can't deny
He lives in a dream

He's got no time for the local girls
He can't relate to his own world
He sends a code through the radio
He waits all night from dusk till light
For a reply

(One and O)
Billy's equation
What a strange situation
(One and O)
Billy's equation
Figure it out, figure it out

In sight, but out of mind
In step, but never in time
A flashy style, a broken smile
He comes on the scene, hey
People stare, he don't care
He dyes his hair green

(One and O)
That's Billy's equation
What a strange situation
(One and O)
That's Billy's equation

Billy's equation

So his mother cries, she can't deny
He lives in a dream

(One and O)
Billy's equation
What a strange situation
(One and O)
That's Billy's equation
Figure it out, figure it out

No, no, no
It's Billy's equation
Tell ya, it's a strange situation
(One and O)
Billy's equation

(One and O)
