Black Rover

[Spoken Intro: Jim] *Billy plays with Great Uncle David's Great Dane* [Jim:] We think of it as Main Street, but to the rest of the country it's Sunset Strip. You're listening to K.A.O.S in Los Angeles! [Verse 1: Roger Waters] I like staying with my Uncle Dave And I like playing with his Great Dane But I don't fit; I feel alien and strange Kinda out of range I like riding in my Uncle's car Down to the beach where the pretty girls all parade And movie stars and paparazzi play The Charles Atlas kicking sand in the face game [Chorus: Roger Waters] 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 [Post-Chorus: Backup singers] Ooh-ooh, Billy come home [Verse 2: Roger Waters] Billy is searching for his native land Flicking through the stations with the dial in his head Picking up *Signal Voice* And a male voice choir on the short wave band Billy taps out Jim's number on the phone He sits shaking as he waits for Jim's answering tone Come on my friend, speak to me please The land of my fathers is calling to me [Chorus: Roger Waters] 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 [Post-Chorus: Roger Waters, Backup singers] Ooh-ooh, Billy come home Come on home [Chorus: Roger Waters] 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 singing [Post-Chorus: Roger Waters, Backup singers] Billy come home Yeah, Billy come home Come on home [Instrumental Outro (with Spoken: Californian Weirdo)] (I don't like fish) (Green fish) (I don't like fish)
