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.
