Angry Lyrics – Billy Squier
Get your master key...open up your doors
Set your servants free...they won't come no more
Wrapped my life in chains...gave my everything
Learned to feel no pain...now everyday I wake up
ANGRY...ANGRY I said
ANGRY...ANGRY I said
You pack me in your car...you drive my life away
But you only go so far...won't take me all the way
I tried so hard to please...take my place in line
Begged you on my knees...now all I got makes me
ANGRY...ANGRY I said
ANGRY...ANGRY I said
Your mantle's 'bout to fall
Your grip's gonna come undone
Nobody hear you call...no flowers from anyone
I'm gettin' down off the rack...I'm takin' this baby back
ANGRY...
I've wasted too much time
I'm gettin' down off the rack
I'm packin' up all my crimes...and I ain't comin' back
Your mantle's 'bout to fall...your mantle's bound to fall
No heaven after all...no heaven after all
ANGRY...no heaven after all
ANGRY...no one to break your fall
ANGRY...no heaven after all
ANGRY...no heaven after all
Set your servants free...they won't come no more
Wrapped my life in chains...gave my everything
Learned to feel no pain...now everyday I wake up
ANGRY...ANGRY I said
ANGRY...ANGRY I said
You pack me in your car...you drive my life away
But you only go so far...won't take me all the way
I tried so hard to please...take my place in line
Begged you on my knees...now all I got makes me
ANGRY...ANGRY I said
ANGRY...ANGRY I said
Your mantle's 'bout to fall
Your grip's gonna come undone
Nobody hear you call...no flowers from anyone
I'm gettin' down off the rack...I'm takin' this baby back
ANGRY...
I've wasted too much time
I'm gettin' down off the rack
I'm packin' up all my crimes...and I ain't comin' back
Your mantle's 'bout to fall...your mantle's bound to fall
No heaven after all...no heaven after all
ANGRY...no heaven after all
ANGRY...no one to break your fall
ANGRY...no heaven after all
ANGRY...no heaven after all
Tryin' To Walk A Straight Line Lyrics – Billy Squier
Are you lookin' for adventure...are you lookin' at me
Are you gettin' enough...do you wanna break free
Look over your shoulder...you're one step older
Now I said to myself "Self, there must be more than this"
I wanna know...I gotta step back from the fast-track heart-attack
Can you stand up tall...you know it's not an easy thing
Tryin' to walk a straight line
Would you get up and fight when it all goes south
Would you dare to be right in the shadow of doubt
Resist temptation...ya face the nation
When you know what you know...can you still say 'no'
C'mon...gotta get smart--make a new start--do your part
Turn it inside out...no it's not an easy thing
Tryin' to walk a straight line...try to be good to me
See the future walk past...now she's too daze gone
And the first will be last (lookout)...sing that same sad song
Behave your voice...behave your ass
Get into your cult...be good to yourself
Turn it inside out...you know it's not an easy thing
Tryin' to walk a straight line
Are you gettin' enough...do you wanna break free
Look over your shoulder...you're one step older
Now I said to myself "Self, there must be more than this"
I wanna know...I gotta step back from the fast-track heart-attack
Can you stand up tall...you know it's not an easy thing
Tryin' to walk a straight line
Would you get up and fight when it all goes south
Would you dare to be right in the shadow of doubt
Resist temptation...ya face the nation
When you know what you know...can you still say 'no'
C'mon...gotta get smart--make a new start--do your part
Turn it inside out...no it's not an easy thing
Tryin' to walk a straight line...try to be good to me
See the future walk past...now she's too daze gone
And the first will be last (lookout)...sing that same sad song
Behave your voice...behave your ass
Get into your cult...be good to yourself
Turn it inside out...you know it's not an easy thing
Tryin' to walk a straight line
Rhythm (A Bridge So Far) Lyrics – Billy Squier
Rhythm, rhythm...rhythm, oh-oh
Rhythm, rhythm...rhythm, oh-oh
It's the rhythm of the changing tides
It's the stars against a moonless night
When two bodies learn to move as one
It can bring you back where you belong
To the rhythm, rhythm...rhythm, oh-oh
Rhythm, rhythm...rhythm, oh-oh
It's the changing of the day to night
It's the color of the grass in spring
When you're wrong it's tryin' to make it right
You can be just what you want to be
Feel the rhythm...rhythm, rhythm
Rhythm...rhythm, oh-oh
Now I have travelled far
To wrap my world around you, oh-oh
And I have lingered on to find the colors of my rainbow
Now I have soldiered on
To build a bridge between us, oh-oh
And I have lingered long to find
The colors in your rainbow
It's the color of the grass in spring
Or the stars against a moonless sky
When two bodies move as one
When two lovers groove on
You can be what you want to be
You can be most anything
Feel the rhythm
Now I have travelled far
To build a bridge between us, oh-oh
And I will linger on...to find the colors in your rainbow
You turn me on...your tear me up
You tear me up...you turn me on
You turn me on...you set me up
You set me up...you turn me on
Rhythm, rhythm...rhythm, oh-oh
It's the rhythm of the changing tides
It's the stars against a moonless night
When two bodies learn to move as one
It can bring you back where you belong
To the rhythm, rhythm...rhythm, oh-oh
Rhythm, rhythm...rhythm, oh-oh
It's the changing of the day to night
It's the color of the grass in spring
When you're wrong it's tryin' to make it right
You can be just what you want to be
Feel the rhythm...rhythm, rhythm
Rhythm...rhythm, oh-oh
Now I have travelled far
To wrap my world around you, oh-oh
And I have lingered on to find the colors of my rainbow
Now I have soldiered on
To build a bridge between us, oh-oh
And I have lingered long to find
The colors in your rainbow
It's the color of the grass in spring
Or the stars against a moonless sky
When two bodies move as one
When two lovers groove on
You can be what you want to be
You can be most anything
Feel the rhythm
Now I have travelled far
To build a bridge between us, oh-oh
And I will linger on...to find the colors in your rainbow
You turn me on...your tear me up
You tear me up...you turn me on
You turn me on...you set me up
You set me up...you turn me on
Hercules Lyrics – Billy Squier
I can't stop...it always gets the best of me
I can't stop...been holdin' out so long
I can't stop...whenever you get close to me
I can't stop...I'm really not that strong
I don't wanna grow apart
I don't wanna drift away
I don't wanna come apart
We can surely find a way
Now I don't mind...lookin' at the photographs
I find myself...holdin' back the tears
And I don't mind...when I read the words you wrote to me
'Cause I got time...to silence all my fears
I don't want us torn apart
I don't wanna slip away
I don't want us torn apart
Give me just another day
I don't wanna throw it all away
I don't wanna lose my hold
I don't wanna throw it all away
I don't wanna lose my...whoa...
I can't stop...I'm holdin' back the memories
But Hercules...is not my middle name
Walls will fall...and you'll be standin' next to me
And Hercules...will never be the same
I don't wanna fall apart
I don't wanna fade away
I don't wanna fall apart
Give me just another day
I don't wanna throw it all away
I don't wanna throw it all away
I don't wanna throw it all away
I don't wanna throw it all away...all away
I can't stop...been holdin' out so long
I can't stop...whenever you get close to me
I can't stop...I'm really not that strong
I don't wanna grow apart
I don't wanna drift away
I don't wanna come apart
We can surely find a way
Now I don't mind...lookin' at the photographs
I find myself...holdin' back the tears
And I don't mind...when I read the words you wrote to me
'Cause I got time...to silence all my fears
I don't want us torn apart
I don't wanna slip away
I don't want us torn apart
Give me just another day
I don't wanna throw it all away
I don't wanna lose my hold
I don't wanna throw it all away
I don't wanna lose my...whoa...
I can't stop...I'm holdin' back the memories
But Hercules...is not my middle name
Walls will fall...and you'll be standin' next to me
And Hercules...will never be the same
I don't wanna fall apart
I don't wanna fade away
I don't wanna fall apart
Give me just another day
I don't wanna throw it all away
I don't wanna throw it all away
I don't wanna throw it all away
I don't wanna throw it all away...all away
Lovin' You Ain't So Hard Lyrics – Billy Squier
Oh...it's all clear to me now
Oh, oh-oh...it all comes through to me now
Sleep-walkin' through a frozen dream
Wakin' up from a fantasy
Where happiness got the best of me
Those dreams only go so far
Some people have a place inside
Where you can run, but you just can't hide
'Til one fine day I pushed my fears aside
'Cause lovin' you ain't so hard
Lovin' you ain't so hard
Turn on your light...now I won't go far
'Cause lovin' you ain't so hard
Love...it's not easy to know
Sometimes...it's so hard to let go
Many times I tried to walk away
Listened long to what my friends would say
Only to find out at the end of the day
They'd taken me just so far
No more wanderin'...I'm almost home
Only a fool would walk this earth alone
When he could have your smile to call his own
Now lovin' you ain't so hard
Lovin' you ain't so hard
Turn off your light...now I won't get far
'Cause lovin' you ain't so hard
Lovin' you ain't so hard
You cast your light out of the shadows
You spread your light in front of me
You cast your light out of the shadows
Shadow me
Lovin' you ain't so hard
Lovin' you ain't so hard
Turn on your light...now I won't go far
'Cause lovin' you ain't so hard
Lovin' you ain't so hard
Turn off your light...now I won't get far
'Cause loving you ain't so hard
Lovin' you ain't so hard
Lovin' you ain't so hard
Lovin' you ain't so hard
Oh, oh-oh...it all comes through to me now
Sleep-walkin' through a frozen dream
Wakin' up from a fantasy
Where happiness got the best of me
Those dreams only go so far
Some people have a place inside
Where you can run, but you just can't hide
'Til one fine day I pushed my fears aside
'Cause lovin' you ain't so hard
Lovin' you ain't so hard
Turn on your light...now I won't go far
'Cause lovin' you ain't so hard
Love...it's not easy to know
Sometimes...it's so hard to let go
Many times I tried to walk away
Listened long to what my friends would say
Only to find out at the end of the day
They'd taken me just so far
No more wanderin'...I'm almost home
Only a fool would walk this earth alone
When he could have your smile to call his own
Now lovin' you ain't so hard
Lovin' you ain't so hard
Turn off your light...now I won't get far
'Cause lovin' you ain't so hard
Lovin' you ain't so hard
You cast your light out of the shadows
You spread your light in front of me
You cast your light out of the shadows
Shadow me
Lovin' you ain't so hard
Lovin' you ain't so hard
Turn on your light...now I won't go far
'Cause lovin' you ain't so hard
Lovin' you ain't so hard
Turn off your light...now I won't get far
'Cause loving you ain't so hard
Lovin' you ain't so hard
Lovin' you ain't so hard
Lovin' you ain't so hard
Time Bomb Lyrics – Billy Squier
I'm sittin' on a time-bomb
The world is like a time-bomb
And it's about to explode...
There once was a young boy...a modestly done boy
Who seemed pretty normal on sight
Wantin' for nothin'...but wantin' for somethin'
But mama made everything right
Inside her protection he learned of rejection
By a world that was not quite his own
He took his reward in a double-edged sword
Now the poor boy is always alone
He built himself a time-bomb
A ticking, talking time-bomb
It's about to explode under me
His world is like a time-bomb
A walking, talking time-bomb
It's about to explode under me
Now off on a new day...alone in her own way
A young girl waits by the phone
Longin' for daddy...she's missin' him badly
She knows that he's not comin' home
So down by the levee...her heart weighin' heavy
She knows that she's got to break free
She falls when she sees him...she knows how to please him
They can't see the woods for the trees
She built herself a time-bomb
A walking, talking time-bomb
It's about to explode under me
She's sittin' on a time-bomb
A ticking, talking time-bomb
It's about to explode under me
You gotta have faith late into the night
If there's another day...try to make it right
Find another way...shine another light
So now they're both older...their world growin' colder
And nothin' appears as it seemed
They look to their future...and the wounds that they nurture
And try to hold on to their dreams
This terrible twosome have really been through some
Scenes that they both know by heart
Mem'ries that jail them...support that has failed them
And they laugh but it tears them apart
We're sittin' on a time-bomb
A ticking, talking time-bomb
It's about to explode under me
This world is like a time-bomb
A walking, talking time-bomb
It's about to explode under me
The world is like a time-bomb
A ticking, talking time-bomb
We're sittin' on a time-bomb and it's about to explode
I see the enemy...and he looks like me
I see the enemy...and he looks like me
Looks a lot like you--looks a lot like me
Looks a lot like you--looks a lot like me
The world is like a time-bomb
And it's about to explode...
There once was a young boy...a modestly done boy
Who seemed pretty normal on sight
Wantin' for nothin'...but wantin' for somethin'
But mama made everything right
Inside her protection he learned of rejection
By a world that was not quite his own
He took his reward in a double-edged sword
Now the poor boy is always alone
He built himself a time-bomb

It's about to explode under me
His world is like a time-bomb
A walking, talking time-bomb
It's about to explode under me
Now off on a new day...alone in her own way
A young girl waits by the phone

She knows that he's not comin' home

Looks a lot like you--looks a lot like me
Stranger To Myself Lyrics – Billy Squier
Stranger, stranger...
I...don't know where I'm goin'
But what I'm leavin' behind...I already know
Run...the streets have no ending
But what I'm hopin' to find...I just can't ignore
I live to be strong...I want to be king
But I act so unwise--look how foolish I've been
When time after time...I try to be me
But I look down inside--it's the stranger I see
Stranger, stranger...stranger to myself
I was born on the other side of life
I'm just a stranger...stranger to myself
Never thought I'd ever cry
Never thought we'd ever be denied
Stranger to myself...
Why...are my thoughts so uncertain
Will I ever unwind...this damage I've done
Love--It's a fight--it's your life--it's not over
Can you look at me now...and show me I'm wrong
For once in my life...I want to be good
But I'm playin' the bad boy...much more than I should
When time after time...I try to explain
Those voices inside...they're callin' out again
Stranger, stranger...stranger to myself
I was born on the other side of life
I'm just a stranger...stranger to myself
Who'd have thought we'd ever hide
Who'd have thought we'd ever be denied
Now don't ask me why...I don't really know
But sure as I'm breathin' I've got to let it go
The eyes of a man...see the world of a child
The door it lies open--won't you step inside and see the
Stranger...stranger to myself
I was born on the other side of life
I'm just a stranger...stranger to myself
Who's to fall if you won't try
Who's to fall if you won't try...you won't try...you don't wanna try
Stranger to myself
I...don't know where I'm goin'
But what I'm leavin' behind...I already know
Run...the streets have no ending
But what I'm hopin' to find...I just can't ignore
I live to be strong...I want to be king
But I act so unwise--look how foolish I've been
When time after time...I try to be me
But I look down inside--it's the stranger I see
Stranger, stranger...stranger to myself
I was born on the other side of life
I'm just a stranger...stranger to myself
Never thought I'd ever cry
Never thought we'd ever be denied

The Girl's All Right Lyrics – Billy Squier
Got myself a woman...or I should say I try
To keep the faith 'fore it gets too late
Hold her down when she wants to fly
Always tryin' to tell me...how it ought to be
And if I treat her right then she won't be the end of me
I don't know why...
She cast my life in shame
But everytime she walk I seem to fall down on my honor
She's got rhythm...rocks me to my soul
Hey!...the girl's all right
She's got rhythm...steers me when I roll
Hey!...the girl's all right
What's she tryin' to say
Does she ever hear me at all
Everyday there's somethin' that she wants
Tells me things that I can't recall
Nails me down--she's a hammer
Can't see no way out
Of all the ways you can run these days--you can't out-run the mouth
I don't know why
At times she can go on
But if by chance we meet I know
With her it won't be wrong
She's got rhythm...rocks me to my soul
Hey!...the girl's all right
She's got rhythm...scares me, then I know
Hey!...the girl's all right
Sometimes I fail to notice...sometimes I play too rough
But when I feel I'm losin' her
Well then I've had enough
Knows my limitations...and she always calls my bluff
I take back what I said tonight
She's got rhythm...rocks me to my soul
Hey!...the girl's all right
She's got rhythm...scares me, then I know
Hey!...the girl's all right
To keep the faith 'fore it gets too late
Hold her down when she wants to fly
Always tryin' to tell me...how it ought to be
And if I treat her right then she won't be the end of me
I don't know why...
She cast my life in shame
But everytime she walk I seem to fall down on my honor
She's got rhythm...rocks me to my soul
Hey!...the girl's all right
She's got rhythm...steers me when I roll
Hey!...the girl's all right
What's she tryin' to say
Does she ever hear me at all
Everyday there's somethin' that she wants
Tells me things that I can't recall
Nails me down--she's a hammer
Can't see no way out
Of all the ways you can run these days--you can't out-run the mouth
I don't know why
At times she can go on
But if by chance we meet I know
With her it won't be wrong
She's got rhythm...rocks me to my soul
Hey!...the girl's all right
She's got rhythm...scares me, then I know
Hey!...the girl's all right
Sometimes I fail to notice...sometimes I play too rough
But when I feel I'm losin' her
Well then I've had enough
Knows my limitations...and she always calls my bluff
I take back what I said tonight
She's got rhythm...rocks me to my soul
Hey!...the girl's all right
She's got rhythm...scares me, then I know
Hey!...the girl's all right
Break Down Lyrics – Billy Squier
I found your note this mornin'...
I didn't want to know
I locked the doors around me...
And tried to let it go
But I think back to yesterday...
To when I had a home
Oh I...oh-oh I...break down
Oh I...oh-oh I...break down
I wish it could be different...
And we hadn't gone so far
And I could show my weakness...
Then you wouldn't be so hard
Every time you walk away...
Now I fall down and I crawl
Oh I...oh-oh I...break down
Oh I...oh-oh I...break down
Catch me, I'm fallin'...I believe I'm fallin'
Catch me, I'm fallin'...right down
Catch me, I'm fallin'...I believe I'm fallin'
Catch me, I'm fallin'...right down
I'm scared to let you hold me...
I'm scared to let you go
I'm scared that you might know me...
In a way I'd never know
Every night I steal away...
But comin' back's so hard
Oh I...oh-oh I...break down
Oh I...oh-oh I...break down
Catch me, I'm fallin'...believe I'm fallin'
Catch me, I'm fallin'...right down
Catch me, I'm fallin'...hear me, I'm callin'
Catch me, I'm fallin'...right down
Right down
I didn't want to know
I locked the doors around me...
And tried to let it go
But I think back to yesterday...
To when I had a home
Oh I...oh-oh I...break down
Oh I...oh-oh I...break down
I wish it could be different...
And we hadn't gone so far
And I could show my weakness...
Then you wouldn't be so hard
Every time you walk away...
Now I fall down and I crawl
Oh I...oh-oh I...break down
Oh I...oh-oh I...break down
Catch me, I'm fallin'...I believe I'm fallin'
Catch me, I'm fallin'...right down
Catch me, I'm fallin'...I believe I'm fallin'
Catch me, I'm fallin'...right down
I'm scared to let you hold me...
I'm scared to let you go
I'm scared that you might know me...
In a way I'd never know
Every night I steal away...
But comin' back's so hard
Oh I...oh-oh I...break down
Oh I...oh-oh I...break down
Catch me, I'm fallin'...believe I'm fallin'
Catch me, I'm fallin'...right down
Catch me, I'm fallin'...hear me, I'm callin'
Catch me, I'm fallin'...right down
Right down
Not A Color Lyrics – Billy Squier
Hey brother the sky is fallin'
Hey brother it all comes down
Soul-searchin' amongst the ashes
There must be some way out of this old town
Sin-sister don't curse your neighbor
No tellin' (when) she might be you
Sin-sister you're not the only
Lonely girl who's left with nothin' to lose
Saw my future in yesterday
Someone told me it won't be long
Turned my future in yesterday
Think it's time that we move on
Love's not a color...what does it matter to you
Love's not a color...what would ya do if I were you would ya do it
Hey brother your streets are burnin'
Loose talkin' and the work's all gone
Say brother we best be learnin'
Don't make it right doin' somebody wrong
Soul sister I feel your sadness
Soul sister it hurts me too
Soul sister I can't stop thinkin'
We got to make some peace between me and you
Heaven knows--not an easy thing
It's not somethin' we laugh about
Heaven knows--not an easy thing
Take my hand got to hold on
Love's not a color...what does it matter to you
Love's not a color...what would ya do if I were you would ya do it
Not a color...what does it matter to you
Love's not a color...
Open your eyes to the sky and the mountains
Learn how to fly--I can take you anywhere
Lift your voice through the sounds of silence
Yea...yea...yea
Not a color...does it matter to you
Not a color...does it matter to you
Hey brother it all comes down
Soul-searchin' amongst the ashes
There must be some way out of this old town
Sin-sister don't curse your neighbor
No tellin' (when) she might be you
Sin-sister you're not the only
Lonely girl who's left with nothin' to lose
Saw my future in yesterday
Someone told me it won't be long
Turned my future in yesterday
Think it's time that we move on
Love's not a color...what does it matter to you
Love's not a color...what would ya do if I were you would ya do it
Hey brother your streets are burnin'
Loose talkin' and the work's all gone
Say brother we best be learnin'
Don't make it right doin' somebody wrong
Soul sister I feel your sadness
Soul sister it hurts me too
Soul sister I can't stop thinkin'
We got to make some peace between me and you
Heaven knows--not an easy thing
It's not somethin' we laugh about
Heaven knows--not an easy thing
Take my hand got to hold on
Love's not a color...what does it matter to you
Love's not a color...what would ya do if I were you would ya do it
Not a color...what does it matter to you
Love's not a color...
Open your eyes to the sky and the mountains
Learn how to fly--I can take you anywhere
Lift your voice through the sounds of silence
Yea...yea...yea
Not a color...does it matter to you
Not a color...does it matter to you
Mind Machine Lyrics – Billy Squier
I saw you for the first time yesterday
You looked at me but somethin' wasn't right
A face I thought I'd come to know by heart
Now hidden by a mask with no reveal
Just when I thought I knew you
I can feel no pulse inside your mind-machine
I can feel no pulse...you stripped my senses clean
I can feel no pulse...there's just your mind-machine
You say that you got feelin's just like me
You prove it as you throw me out the door
I'm reelin' from your sensitivity
Is this the shape of better things to come
I'm frightened for the future
I can feel no pulse inside your mind-machine
I can feel no pulse...you stripped my senses clean
I can feel no pulse...inside your mind-machine
I can feel no pulse...you broke my mind-machine
Inside your world it's cold and blue as ice
Where no one speaks and no one need reply
To questions that I've asked a thousand times
No answer to the riddles that you keep
It must be hard to be you
I can feel no pulse inside your mind-machine
I can feel no pulse...you stripped my senses clean
I can feel no pulse...inside your mind-machine
I can feel no pulse...you broke my mind-machine
You looked at me but somethin' wasn't right
A face I thought I'd come to know by heart
Now hidden by a mask with no reveal
Just when I thought I knew you
I can feel no pulse inside your mind-machine
I can feel no pulse...you stripped my senses clean
I can feel no pulse...there's just your mind-machine
You say that you got feelin's just like me
You prove it as you throw me out the door
I'm reelin' from your sensitivity
Is this the shape of better things to come
I'm frightened for the future
I can feel no pulse inside your mind-machine
I can feel no pulse...you stripped my senses clean
I can feel no pulse...inside your mind-machine
I can feel no pulse...you broke my mind-machine
Inside your world it's cold and blue as ice
Where no one speaks and no one need reply
To questions that I've asked a thousand times
No answer to the riddles that you keep
It must be hard to be you
I can feel no pulse inside your mind-machine
I can feel no pulse...you stripped my senses clean
I can feel no pulse...inside your mind-machine
I can feel no pulse...you broke my mind-machine
Shocked Straight Lyrics – Billy Squier
And so the knife comes down...another curtain falls
And no one hears the sound...and no one takes the call
From me and my anxiety...locked up in these four walls
I come to you now I'm alone...with my defenses down
I tell you everything I need...I get down on the ground
I always know that when I go...that I'll be back again
Shocked straight--doctor can you get my medicine
Shocked straight--doctor can't you see the shape I'm in
Shocked straight--doctor when you gonna let me in
If I could listen to my mind...and keep the world outside my door...
But time has opened up my eyes and shown me somethin' more
Now all I want is to be free...and get up off the floor
Why can't you look into my heart...
Why can't you ever let me know
You're always takin' me apart...you're never lettin' go
There's always somethin' on your mind...
This ain't reality
Shocked straight--doctor can you get my medicine
Shocked straight--doctor can't you see the shape I'm in
Shocked straight--doctor when you gonna let me in
Why you be so hard
Why you be so hard
Why you be so hard
I know it's gonna take some time...for me to straighten out my head
To say what's on my mind...to hear those words I said
And while I'm tryin' to learn to feel...
You keep on tellin' me...
Shocked straight--doctor can you get my medicine
Shocked straight--doctor can't you see the shape I'm in
Shocked straight--doctor when you gonna let me in
Shocked straight...
Shocked straight...
Shocked straight...when you gonna let me in
Why you be so hard
Why you be so hard
Why you be so hard
And no one hears the sound...and no one takes the call
From me and my anxiety...locked up in these four walls
I come to you now I'm alone...with my defenses down
I tell you everything I need...I get down on the ground
I always know that when I go...that I'll be back again
Shocked straight--doctor can you get my medicine
Shocked straight--doctor can't you see the shape I'm in
Shocked straight--doctor when you gonna let me in
If I could listen to my mind...and keep the world outside my door...
But time has opened up my eyes and shown me somethin' more
Now all I want is to be free...and get up off the floor
Why can't you look into my heart...
Why can't you ever let me know
You're always takin' me apart...you're never lettin' go
There's always somethin' on your mind...
This ain't reality
Shocked straight--doctor can you get my medicine
Shocked straight--doctor can't you see the shape I'm in
Shocked straight--doctor when you gonna let me in
Why you be so hard
Why you be so hard
Why you be so hard
I know it's gonna take some time...for me to straighten out my head
To say what's on my mind...to hear those words I said
And while I'm tryin' to learn to feel...
You keep on tellin' me...
Shocked straight--doctor can you get my medicine
Shocked straight--doctor can't you see the shape I'm in
Shocked straight--doctor when you gonna let me in
Shocked straight...
Shocked straight...
Shocked straight...when you gonna let me in
Why you be so hard
Why you be so hard
Why you be so hard
Young At Heart Lyrics – Billy Squier
So you're out to change the world
You can do it none too fast
You don't want to see your future
Wash away into the past
Now a change is gonna come...
Say it's written on the streets
But there's a monkey on your back
...Try to put him on a shelf
And you try to find in others
What you hide inside yourself
And you worry 'bout the war
And you try to understand
But forget about tomorrow
When you're playin' in the band
Stay young at heart
Stay young at heart
Now you've been around the world
Seen the shape of things to come
You begin to feel the damage
From the crazy things we've done
Now the lines are overdrawn
...See 'em bleedin' down your face
And there's a sore and scary monster...
She's-a comin' after you
Stay young at heart
Stay young at heart
You can't be too wise
So open your eyes
Stay young at heart...yea
Now you're weary from the war
But it's time to start again
And you don't know what you're fightin' for
But you'll fight until the end
Now forget about the future
Don'tcha try to understand
There's no need to fear tomorrow
Just keep playin' in the band
Stay young at heart
Stay young at heart
You can't be too wise
So open your eyes
Stay young...stay young
Stay young at heart
You can do it none too fast
You don't want to see your future
Wash away into the past
Now a change is gonna come...
Say it's written on the streets
But there's a monkey on your back
...Try to put him on a shelf
And you try to find in others
What you hide inside yourself
And you worry 'bout the war
And you try to understand
But forget about tomorrow
When you're playin' in the band
Stay young at heart
Stay young at heart
Now you've been around the world
Seen the shape of things to come
You begin to feel the damage
From the crazy things we've done
Now the lines are overdrawn
...See 'em bleedin' down your face
And there's a sore and scary monster...
She's-a comin' after you
Stay young at heart
Stay young at heart
You can't be too wise
So open your eyes
Stay young at heart...yea
Now you're weary from the war
But it's time to start again
And you don't know what you're fightin' for
But you'll fight until the end
Now forget about the future
Don'tcha try to understand
There's no need to fear tomorrow
Just keep playin' in the band
Stay young at heart
Stay young at heart
You can't be too wise
So open your eyes
Stay young...stay young
Stay young at heart
