Hollywood Lyrics – Billy Squier

Heaven, everything you wanted
You know what you came for
Tell me what you got right now
Ain't it funny, they all come for money

From Maine to Arizona
And a star out on the Walk of Fame
Do you like it, go and shout it
Play it harder, never doubt it

Now in a world of constant change
Nothin' stays the same
They'll run you outa here, that's Hollywood
And though you think you'll never change

You're not quite the same
It all seems so sincere, in Hollywood
Winnin', winnin' makes you over
The glory days roll by you

You're leavin' all the clouds behind
And the losers don't have much to offer
But they can drag you under
As fast as you can draw the line

And though you're really not to blame
You fall into your fame
The flames are oh so near, in Hollywood
And when you think you know their game

Somethin' quite so strange
No one knows you're here, in Hollywood
So you're dancin' on the dotted line
They got you workin' workin' overtime

It's a shame, shame, shame
You can't fight it, don't deny it
You can't hide it
The way you do the things you do

They say that some things never change
The plot remains the same
No one wins out here, in Hollywood
And though you think you're not to blame

You fall into your fame
Flames are oh so near, in Hollywood
And with the real world out of range
Can you make the change

And walk on outa here, that's Hollywood

Conscience Point Lyrics – Billy Squier

Freedom rider...though you've tried
Words are not enough for you now...
It's hard on your pride
I can't find you...though I know you
You are just a step out of line...
Come closer to me

When the lines are drawn
And no one comes to break us down
And the walls that stood between us
Tumble to the ground
It's time to find someone to run to

I've got a place in mind
It's known as conscience point
It's where the clouds roll by
They say that nothin' really matters
I'm goin' out to find
Why people come this way
And put the past behind
You know there really is a reason

Changing faces...trading places
Nothing lasts anymore...it's hard when you try
Star-crossed lovers run for cover
I don't know if it's right...but I know how I feel

When you're tired of all those things
You never said before
And although you've tried you never opened that door
It's time to find someone to run to

We'll run the roads tonite
We'll meet at conscience point
I look into your eyes
You say that nothin' really matters
If I could change your mind
If you would look my way
And leave it all behind
You'd know you really mean so much to me

When you've tired of all those things
You've never done before
And you never took the time
To fall in love before
You've got to find someone to...yea

We'll run the roads tonite
We'll meet at conscience point
I'll look into your eyes
And know that somethin' really matters
'Cause we can change our minds
And we can find our way
And leave it all behind
'Cause you really mean that much to me

Conscience point...take a walk with me
And put it all behind
We'll make some history

Nerves On Ice Lyrics – Billy Squier

You don't need the papers to read between the lines
And you don't need the grapevine to say what's on your mind
Hangin' on the corner in the opera of the street
Eyes of imitation on everyone you meet
Dance to the music--sing to my song
Come to the party--and bring your friends along, listen

Roll over...get down
Gonna make you...right now
So heavy...so nice
We'll put your...nerves on ice

I been to the banker and I been to see the queen
Six of seven wonders have I made out of my dreams
I could be a junkie--I could be like you
We could be together...then what would we do
Life for the takin' is just outside your door
Time is the one thing that no one can afford
LISTEN...
Roll over...right now
Gonna make you...get down
So heavy...s'all right
We'll put your nerves on ice

Don't let them bring you down
Don't let them turn you upside down
Only the strong survive...
And no one here gets out alive

Call for the doctor--you can call out for a priest
But you can't take it with you when they're taggin' your disease
There're no easy lessons--and there're no guarantees
But you can go the distance be what you want to be
Stand where you're able...leave with your pride
Come to the table and throw down for your side, listen

Roll over...get down
You're gonna like it...and how
So heavy...so right
We'll put your nerves on ice

Don't let them bring you down
Don't let them turn you upside down
...Don't think twice
...Nerves on ice
Don't let them bring you down
Don't let them leave you on the edge of town
...Don't think twice
...Nerves on ice

Hands Of Seduction Lyrics – Billy Squier

LOVE...it's that one big step you take
EYES...watchin' every move you make
When the fear lifts you up...you won't back down
...Be careful what you say
Beware of the dark...they'll steal your heart away

It's illogical...psychological...
It can change your world--make it all work out
...So illogical...

Hands of seduction...hands of seduction
Hands of seduction...workin' workin' overtime
...Hands of seduction

Crimes of the heart are hard to take
Lies can't defend your first mistake

When you're vulnerable...it's improbable
You can face your world--make it all work out
...You're so vulnerable...

Hands of seduction...creepy fingers through your mind
Hands of seduction...
Hands of seduction...workin' workin' overtime...
Hands of seduction

It's illogical...psychological...
It can change your world--make it all work out
...It's illogical

Hands of seduction...know the secrets in your mind
Hands of seduction...
Hands of seduction...workin' workin' overtime...
Hands of seduction...

So you say you owe the sands of time
If you don't look now your life won't lie
Jack and Jill conquered the hill...
But even still they had to pay the bill
For their father's sins
Like a poor boy...(say) you just can't win
In the hands of the devil there's double trouble
You got it comin'...no use in runnin'
Said I've always known there's a price you pay...
Like when I see you babe
I wanna take you all the way...all the way...
To a place you've never known
Beyond your heart...beyond a home...
Way beyond your shame..

Your hands seduce me

Facts Of Life Lyrics – Billy Squier

These are the golden years
When people get what they want
And you can be one of them
'Cause you're old enough to burn

So you earn your star--you run from the pack
Sell the clothes from off of your back
And you'll go far--you'll never look back
Your dreams can never die

Welcome to the facts of life

Life on the edge of town...
No one could get near you
But one day you call to them
When they find you where it hurts

You can fall so far you never come up
All you've got is never enough
And just one word can make it so tough
Your dreams were not so wise...

You're runnin' through the facts of life

Oh you're runnin' from the facts of life
Oh you're runnin' from the facts of life
Oh you're runnin' from the facts of life
Oh you're runnin' from the facts of life

The first time I saw you
You were untouchable
You walked on the poet's heels
No one could deny you

Now you're lookin' for better things
Someone to get close to
A song everybody knows
...When you find out what it's worth...

And you come so far you'll never turn back
The stones they throw--they roll off your back
They make it hard--you like it like that
Your dreams will never die

When you go so far you'll never turn back
The stones they throw--you throw 'em right back
They play so hard--you like it like that
Our dreams become our lives
No more runnin' from the facts of life

No more runnin' from the facts of life
No more runnin' from the facts of life
No more runnin'...
No more runnin'...
No more runnin' from the facts of life

(L.O.V.E.) Four Letter Word Lyrics – Billy Squier

L-O- whaddo I know
V-E- she's not comin' back to me
L-O I can't let go
V-E- tell ya what that girl don't mean to me
So you see my friend, love is just a four letter word

Once there were schoolyards with children at play
Once there was England, and one sunny day
One kinda woman for one kinda man
How could I know I was not in her plans

Say love, say love
When I was soarin' you urged me to fly
When I was hungry you fed me your lines
Led me to water, you sang me your song
One day when I woke up I found you were gone

Say love, say love
Say love, say love
Nobody told me, love is just a four letter word

L is for losin' the love that you crave
And O is when it's over and your heart can't explain
V is for the victim, the victim of the crime and
E is every morning when you break down on time
So you see my friend, love is just a four letter word

L-O- I can't let go
V-E- friends all say just let it be
L-O- oo-oo
V-E-

Forget your illusions, forget what they say
'Cause all your dreams of happiness have just blown away
Once in a lifetime your spirit will fly
That's what she told me 'fore she told me goodbye

Love, say love
Love, say love
So you see my friend, love is just a four letter word

L is for losers when fortune turns blue
And O is overcomin' what you know to be true
V is for the vengeance that's left out in the rain and
E is each and every night you crumble in pain
So you see my friend, love is just a four letter word
So you see my friend
I say "Stop, don't say it"
So you see my friend, love is just a four letter word

L-O- whaddo I know
V-E- she's not comin' back to me
L-O- I can't let go
V-E- tell ya what that girl don't mean to me

We're just the victims of the powers that be

Strange Fire Lyrics – Billy Squier

What's that sound...this poundin' in my head
The beat's so loud...got me tossin' in my bed
I been avoidin' it for too long
I can love 'em and leave 'em...
Then I can't go wrong
But that kinda love don't get you too far
...Leaves you out by back door

It's a strange strange fire...
Burns me when I'm touchin' you
It's a strange strange fire...
It's a strange strange fire...

What's that sound...this ringin' in my ears
The beat keeps poundin' (turn it up)
Now my time is drawin' near
Gotta get on with this emotion
Got my back to the wall...
Your devotion makes me...
Cry like a baby...and now I can't let go

It's a strange strange fire...
Burns me when I'm touchin' you
It's a strange strange fire...
It's a strange strange fire...
Standin' on the edge of...
Such a strange strange fire

I been watchin' you...
I found out where you sleep...
I hear the names you call...
And the company you keep...
It's an endless fight...
For an endless love...
Now I'm reachin' down inside...
Gonna find out what I want

It's a strange strange fire...
Burns me when I'm touchin' you
It's a strange strange fire...
It's a strange strange fire...
Standin' on the edge of...
Such a strange strange fire

It's a strange strange fire
It's a strange strange fire
It's a strange strange fire...
Burn me baby
It's a strange strange fire...

Alone In Your Dreams (Don't Say Goodbye) Lyrics – Billy Squier

I saw you last night...alone in your dreams
You were so peaceful there...or that's how it seemed
But something is wrong...you feel it inside
No one can reach you there...but still you can't hide

'Cause dreams never lie
You can't if you try
It's not often easy to wake up...sometimes

Don't say good-bye...don't say it's over
Don't say good-bye to the dreams of our love
Don't say good-bye...keep dreamin' for us

A shot in the dark...like ships in the night
So we're both older now...well that's all right
'Cause visions live on where memories have died
We've walked that road before...we'll get there this time

Now I know you tried
You tell me that you've had enough
You think it might be easier to just give up

Don't say good-bye...don't say it's over
Don't say good-bye to the dreams of our love
Don't say good-bye...lean on my shoulder
Don't say good-bye...keep dreamin' for us

Tell ya baby...I can't stop thinkin'
'Bout all those times you walked on out my door
Now I don't want you...say I don't need it
But I'll never--no never...let you go

Don't say good-bye...and don't look back
Don't say good-bye to the dreams of our love
Don't look back...and don't say why
Don't turn back...keep dreamin' for us

Don't don't oh yea
Don't don't --say why
Keep on dreamin'
Keep dreamin' for us

"Hear & Now" (1989)

Rock Out / Punch Somebody Lyrics – Billy Squier

Say 'hey...everybody rock out
Wind me up--I might punch somebody
Rock...rock out
Switch me off--I might hurt someone
Rock...rock out
Turn me on--I wanna love somebody
Rock...rock out
Lead me on--I'll break into your life

You come 'round, waltzin' into my life
Think that I'm your fool and I need ya
Fill my head with your stolen advice
Now ya don't play cool--how I read ya
Now you're tumblin' baby--through a violent scene
Can ya feel me comin'--you won't catch me

Rock...rock out
Wind me up--I might punch somebody
Rock...rock out
Switch me off--I might hurt someone
Rock...rock out
Turn me on--I wanna touch somebody
Rock...rock out
Lead me on--I'll break into your life

I don't care how ya do me this time
Now you've gone too far...I don't need ya
Years ago you could keep me in line
Now I'm not your star
It's a split-screen baby--are you wrong or right
Do ya run for cover when they turn out the lights

Through the sound and fury...does it feel like love
Are ya true now
Darlin'...fist in glove pla

Stronger Lyrics – Billy Squier

I will live for you--I want you to believe in me
Cause I believe in you--I know how strong the fire can be
I been searchin' all my life
To find a cause worth fightin' for
When you came into my life
This feelin' cuts right through
I feel it gettin' stronger
Stronger every day
Stronger through the night
Stronger for the pain
'Cause we made it all right
Stronger when we kiss
After every fight
There's no stronger love than this
Baby hold on tight

I'll be there for you--no matter what the odds will be
When I reach out for you--I know that you'll be there for me
When I look upon my life
I see the ground I walked before
Tears have fallen like the rain
Life changes we go through
They make us even stronger

Stronger every day
Stronger through the night
Stronger for the pain
'Cause we made it all right
Stronger when we kiss
After every fight
There's no stronger love than this...baby, baby
Stronger in your arms
Stronger on my own
Stronger than the fear of bein' alone

And if we live a thousand lifetimes
They could never tear us apart
Our dream can last forever
I feel the beat in my heart

Stronger in your arms
Stronger on my own
Stronger than the fear of bein' alone
Stronger when we kiss
After every fight
Stronger for the pain
'Cause we made it all right

I'll be there for you--you'll be there for me
'Stronger' is the word and I know we'll be
Stronger every day
Stronger through the night
There's no stronger love than this
Baby hold on tight

Don't Say You Love Me Lyrics – Billy Squier

You can't get up
You can't get down
You can't sit still
You never settle down

Don't say you love me
Just say 'huh'!

You love runs hot
Your love runs cold
You can't get loose
Until you get control

Don't say you love me
Just say 'huh'!
Don't say you love me
Just say 'all right'

You're scared to win
You're scared to lose
You're scared to live
With the life you choose

Don't say you love me
Just say

You can't say 'yes'
You can't say 'no'
Your mind's made up
You don't know where to go

Don't say you love me
Whatcha say?
Don't say you love me
Just say 'huh'!

I can see you comin' round again
I can feel you but I can't say when
I will be there in your now and then

Don't Let Me Go Lyrics – Billy Squier

Over and over--wanderin' through the years
Life is a diamond--love is a trail of tears
Sometimes I want you--sometimes I want to fly
I know when I find you
No one can stop me now--break you

Don't let me go--Don't let me

Watchin' the seasons--can't let you pass me by
Turnin' the pages--why do we have to lie
You are the reason--yours are the final eyes
And when I hold you
No one can touch me now--break-through

Don't let me go--Don't let me

Never wanna say goodbye--never wanna make you cry
Never wanna see you go
Now every time I close my eyes
You're the one who makes me realize

Don't let me go

Tied Up Lyrics – Billy Squier

In the heart of the night you come on like fire
In the light of dawn leave me cold and tired
When you think of love
Tell me what you see
And when you dream, do ya dream of me
Feel the passion deep inside
It's in your blood and you just can't hide

You want some lovin' but your heart's tied up
Try to run but you can't say stop
Hold me baby--take me higher
Take a chance--set your world on fire
You want some lovin' but your heart's tied up

Now the truth is out--honey can't you see
I'm tied to you and you belong to me
But when we get too close I feel you push away
Nothin' I do's gonna make you stay
Tears are clashin'--worlds collide
You won't let go and you don't know why

You want some lovin' but your heart's tied up
Gimme fever--you burn me hot
Touch me baby--walk the wire
Tell me 'no'--then your heart's a liar
You need some lovin' but your heart's tied up

Try to run but you can't say stop
Hold me baby--take me higher
Take a chance--set your world on fire
You need some lovin' but your heart's tied up

Hold me baby--take me higher
Touch me baby--walk the wire
Roll me darlin'--light my fire
Spread your wings and love somebody

(I Put A) Spell On You Lyrics – Billy Squier

Find yourself in the middle of the night
With a stranger in the darkness--somethin' don't seem right
Ask yourself 'whatever does it mean?'
You feel you don't belong here--still you're drawn into the scene

Take yourself to the middle of a dream
In a foreign situation nothin's really what it seems
You're not alone--through the static in your mind
There's a long-distance lover on your night-line

From outa nowhere you meet a man--says 'the time is right'
You never knew him--you can't get to him
But when ya do--you'll see the light

I put a spell on you
I'll look you up--I'll break you down
I put a spell on you

Time goes on--like a soldier in the rain
Now you've been around the world and now you're goin' back again
Tell yourself that there's somethin' more to gain
When you step into the fire you can never be the same

I see you movin'--you can't go home and you don't know why
You look for somethin'--you feel that somethin'
Will pull ya through--now wrong or right

I put a spell on you
I watch you walk--you won't get far
I put a spell on you

It keeps you movin'--what will you do when your time is right
You take that somethin'--I'll give ya somethin'
Don'tcha know--I think you might

I put a spell on you
