Shocked Straight - 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 […]

Mind-machine - 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 […]

Not A Color - 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 […]

Time-bomb - 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 […]

Lovin’ You Ain’t So Hard - 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 […]
