Lyrics
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 you 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
Just looking for a clue, it's a nightmare come true
He's going underground to track that danger down
Oh Billy, hey, 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 you
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
It 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's on the run
Oh, you better run
(Never gave him an even break) better run
(Gettin' 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
(Like a sheep in a lion's den) oh Billy
(Gonna fall but you won't know when) yeah, Billy's out
