Billy Lyrics by Blue Murder

Blue Murder

1989

[Verse 1]
It was the midnight hour when the boy broke out of Frisco
Running scared he's moving from the heat
The electric chair was the sentence there
But they didn't take the time or care to see
That it wasn't Billy
(It wasn't Billy, it wasn't Billy)

[Chorus]
And they call him public enemy number one
But they won't know what's going on
They call him public enemy number one
But they don't know what's going on

[Verse 2]
Well I'm cruising in a car heading down the main street
To see my girl, she's waiting there for me
The cops are tailing with their sirens wailing
But the one thing they can see
Is there ain't just Billy, oh no
I'm gonna race this car, get away from here
Start a new life, there'll be no more fear for me, no, no, no

[Chorus]
They call me public enemy number one
But they won't know what's going on
They call me public enemy number one
But they don't know what's going on with me

[Chorus 2]
I'll tell you girl if we make it to the borderline
We will be free—just you and me
I swear I will make you mine
Till the end of our time

[Lead: John Sykes]

[Verse 3]
Now Billy's got a gun and he's heading for the border
Moving fast, they're almost in the clear
Police are waiting with an ambush
Saying, "There ain't nothing passing here
Not even Billy," Oh, no, no
They're gunning Billy down in the middle of the street
Fill him full of lead and his girl begins to scream, no, no, no

[Chorus]
They called him public enemy number one
But they don't know what's going on
They called him public enemy number one
But they don't know what's going on
They called him public enemy number one
Gotta shoot to kill 'cause he's on the run
They called him public enemy number one

[Outro]
They called him Billy, yeah
They called him Billy, yeah
They called him Billy, yeah
They called him Billy, yeah
