Def Leppard - Billys Got A Gun Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 going to shoot you down
He's got evil in his eyes, got a reason to despise
There's danger in the air

[Chorus 1]
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)

[Verse 2]
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
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?

[Chorus 1]
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)

[Chorus 2]
Never give him an even break
Getting caught is the chance you take
It could be your last mistake
(You could be so hopeless)
As a bird with a broken wing
Like a sheep in a lions den
Going to fall but you won't know when
(He's going to get you)

[Verse 3]
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 around but Billy couldn't wait

[Chorus 1]
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)

[Chorus 2]
(Aah, you better run) Never give him an even break
(Better run) Getting caught is the chance you take
(You better run) It could be your last mistake
(Yeah, Billy's got a gun)
As a bird with a broken wing (Oh, Billy)
As a sheep in the lions den (Oh, Billy)
Going to fall but you won't know when
(Yeah, the heat is on, he's going to get you)

[Outro]
Bang, bang
