Def Leppard - Billy’s Got A Gun lyrics

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
