Take A Look Behind You Lyrics – Billy Squier

There's trouble on the rise--you can see it in the eyes of the livin'
There's an order to defy--there's a room at the back of your mind
Word gets out--what's it all about
Some take it in and some can do without
Don't hang out in the shadow of a doubt
It's time you split before they sign you out
They'll have you sing the blues...

Take a look behind ya
Take it on the run
Take a look behind ya
Look into the risin' sun

You can dance, you can sing, but it doesn't mean a thing without rhythm
You can slip--slide--stumble through the rest of your life
Time won't stop--never gonna stop ya
You push the limit 'til the day you drop
Time don't stop--race against the clock
You shun the risk--can you stand the shock
You got a lot to lose...

Take a look behind ya
Take it on the run
Take a look behind ya
Look into the risin' sun

Take a look behind ya
Take it as it comes
Take a look behind ya
Don't forget the things you done

You can run--you can hide but you never put aside what you're feelin'
Keep your balance--keep your stride--let it run through the heart of your life
Time don't stop--ready or not
You've got to give it everything you got
Life don't stop--take it to the top...
You miss a step feel the anchor drop
It all comes back to you...
