They came at night leaving fear behind

Shadows were on the ground

Nobody knew where to find him

No evidence was found

"I'm never coming back" they heard him cry

And I believe him

Well he never meant to do anything wrong

It's gonna get worse if he waits too long



Billy, Billy don't you lose my number

Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you

Oh now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number

Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh no



Searching through the day and into the night

They wouldn't stop till they found him

They didn't know him and they didn't understand

They never asked him why

"Get out of my way" they heard him shout

Then a blinding light

All I could see was him running down the street

Out of the shadows and into the night



Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number

Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you

Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number

Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you



Don't give up

Keep running, keep hiding

Don't give up

Billy, if you know you're right

Don't give up

You know that I am on your side

Don't give up

Oh Billy, you better, you better, you better run for your life



Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number

Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you

Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number

Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you



They came at night leaving fear behind

Shadows were on the ground

Nobody knew where to find him

No evidence was found

"I'm never coming back" they heard him cry

And I believe him

He never meant to do anything wrong

It's gonna get worse if he waits too long
