[Verse 1] Well my name is Bill and I only get high I got a me a ladder to touch the sky One pill takes you up, one pill takes you down Think you're going high and you fall to the ground Well my pencil squeaks on the slate board Hold the boat to the glass and read the words [Chorus] Well ashes to ashes and dust to dust My dear Alice what have you done Well ashes to ashes and dust to dust In a burning house built on the sun Well run now rabbit, run, run, run There's nothing you can do when things are said and done [Verse 2] Well my name is Bill and I only get high I got a handful of matches and a glass pipe But one pill makes you live and others make you die You got a circle of eights and a cat's eyes My pencil squeaks on the slate board Through the looking glass you can read the words [Chorus] Well ashes to ashes and dust to dust My dear Alice you took too much Well ashes to ashes and dust to dust In a burning house built on the sun Well run now rabbit, run, run, run There's nothing you can do when things are said and done [Outro] Well my name is Bill and I only get high Two small hits off a hash pipe But these pills they are smoke, mirror and lies Sands of grain, sands of time My pencil squeaks on the slate board My looking glass is broken doors Well ashes to ashes and dust to dust Well ashes to ashes and dust to dust In a burning house built on the sun Well run now rabbit, run, run, run There's nothing you can do when things are said and done
