"Billy's Got A Gun"

(Clark/Savage/Willis/Elliott/Lange)

Billy's got a gun, he's on the run 
Confusion in his mind, the blind leads the blind 
Oh, 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? 
Danger (Such a strange emotion) 
Can you feel it in the air? 

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, why you got that gun? 

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 

You hear footsteps in the night, see shadows on the wall 
And the ghastly 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 
It was the hand of fate 
And a crowd of people gathered round, but Billy couldn't wait
