Billy's Got a Gun Songtext

von Def Leppard

Billy's got a gun, he's on the run
Confusion in his mind, the blind leads the blind
Yeah, Billy's got a gun
He's gonna shoot ya down
He's got 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?)

Oh yeah
Oh 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
He's just looking for a clue
It's a nightmare come true
He's going underground to track that danger down
Oh Billy, and 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?)
Oh yeah
Oh Billy

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 ya

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?)
Oh yeah
Yeah Billy you better run
Oh you better run
Never give him an even break
(Ya better run)
Gettin' caught is the chance you take
(Ya better run)
It'll be your last mistake
Yeah Billy has got a gun
As a bird with a broken wing
(Oh Billy)
Like a sheep in the lion's den
(Oh Billy)
Gonna fall but you don't know when
Yeah the heat is on
He's gonna get ya
Whoah yeah
Bang bang
