Def Leppard - Billy's Got a Gun Lyrics

Billy's got a gun, he's on the run
Confusion in his mind, the blind leads the blind
Billy's got a gun, he's gonna shoot ya down
He's got an evil in his eyes, got a reason to despise
There's danger in the air

Can you feel it in the air?
There's danger in the air
Danger, such a strange emotion
Can you feel it in the air?

He was locked inside a room without a door
His innocence, he suffered for
In a world of black and white, they were wrong and he was right
Just looking for a clue, it's a nightmare come true
He's going underground to track that danger down
Billy, hey, why you got that gun?

Can you feel it in the air?
There's danger in the air
Danger, such a strange emotion
Can you feel it in the air?

Never give him an even break
Gettin' caught is the chance you take
It could be your last mistake
You could be so helpless

As a bird with a broken wing
Like a sheep in a lion's den
Gonna fall but you won't know when
He's gonna get you

You hear footsteps in the night, see shadows on the wall
And the ghostly sound of silence, as the mist begins to fall
Then a scream rang out like thunder, but the lightning was too late
As the rain came down on the crimson ground was the hand of fate
And a crowd of people gathered 'round, but Billy couldn't wait

Can you feel it in the air?
There's danger in the air
Danger, such a strange emotion
Can you feel it in the air?
Billy's on the run

You better run

Never gave him an even break
Gettin' caught is the chance you take
It could be your last mistake
Yeah, Billy's got a gun

As a bird with a broken wing
Like a sheep in a lion's den
Gonna fall but you won't know when
He's gonna get you

Bang bang
