Lyrics Billy Squier

Billy Squier

Inferno (Everybody Cries Sometimes)

Started out at the break of dawn

Braved the woods fro the light of day

With a smile and a dream and a hope so warm

Half way home I had lost my way

Here in my world I circle round and round

Here in my world it's a long way down

I look up to the sky

I reach down in my heart where my feet tread on

emptiness wherever I go

Where a good man will fall and a sinner may rise above

but one destiny we all will know

Everybody cries sometimes

Everybody hurts so bad

Tell me 'bout your hard times baby

I already been through that

Tamed three beasts who would do me harm

Sought a wise man to lead me to...

Put my strength on a woman's arm

That ancient glory won't see you through

Here in my world fortune's wheel spins round

Here in my world I'm neither up nor down

Every virtue is sin set to rupture when doubt

makes it easy to sacrifice the god you know

There's no comfort within - only pleasure without

as you realize there's one more circle yet to go

Everybody cries sometimes

Everybody's got their cross to bear

Spit up all your hard luck baby

Life can treat you so unfair

Catch you when you're not aware

Cache your valuables in the vault

Choose your morals or loyalty

Humanity is your own damn fault

though it's not what we choose to be

Lack of hope breeds desire and you sacrifice

everything to satisfy the urge to know

Be you guilty of love, or a penchant to falsify

we don't go where we don't want to go

Everybody cries sometimes

Everybody moves so bad

Tell me 'bout your hard times baby

I already tried all that

Everybody...sometimes

gonna feel so sad

Have another drink my darlin'

Heaven knows I'll stand you that

Everybody...sometimes

gonna feel so sad

Everybody...one time

Lord knows I'll drink to that
