Young, rich and famous What you want to be You give it everything you got But your sympathy Been with everybody in the magazines You know you're spinning so fast That you're runing out of fantasies What you want is What you need is Whata you're willing to be It's so strange You feel so insane It's like--who's that talking to me Here's your 15 minutes of fame What you gonna give me To ease the pain When it's all over Won't know your name Here's your 15 minutes of fame No satisfaction Your simple creed You know you pour in everyone you got Just to fill the need No doubt you're witness To a major scene But you better not lose your touch Or you're history What you want is What you need is What you're willing to be It's so starange You feel so insane It's like--who's that talking to me Here's your 15 minutes of fame It's a risky business It's a liar's game Into the spotlight and out again Come and get your 15 Your 15 minutes of fame Here's your 15 minutes of fame It's a risky business It's a liar's game Into the spotlight and out again Come and get your 15 Your 15 minutes of fame |

There's a face in the mirror, and you close your eyes
Much easier to turn away, than to take a look inside So you're thinking it's over, walking away Let your little world crash and burn, ooh what a price to pay Didn't anybody tell you it's not who's right or wrong Hold the line, is this what's going on? Where you going now? When your world's turned inside out Isn't love what it's all about? Where you going now? When you get to the top of the hill Gonna be there yes I will There's a crack in the mirror, there's a hole in the sun Full moon in the midnight sky, and you feel like you wanna run So you blow out the candle and you turn out the light Then you stumble into darkness - who'd believe that love is blind? Didn't anybody tell you it's never too late to try? Hold the line, before you say goodbye Where you going now? When your world's turned inside out Isn't love what it's all about? Where you going now? When you get to the top of the hill Gonna be there yes I will Now I'm not talking about what's good for me And I'm not saying how you ought to be But if there is a message shining on through to you Take a little peace of mind and let that love-light shine Didn't anybody tell you it's never too late to try? Hold the line, before you say goodbye Where you going now? When your world's turned inside out Isn't love what it's all about? Where you going now? When you get to the top of the hill Gonna be there yes I will Where you going now? When your world's turned inside out Isn't love what it's all about? Where you going now? When you get to the top of the hill Gonna be there yes I will Gonna be there yes I will |

There was a time When a man lived by his word And the simple truth Was not so hard to take When his enemies Were thousands of miles away And he stood by The promises he'd make All that I ask for All that I need Is someone that I can believe Yeah Just like the air That we breathe in a single day To a drowning man How much do you think he'd pay All that I ask for All that I need Is someone that I can believe When I listen to the things you try to say Any ordinary man would fade away But if you want I'm ready to receive I know that I can believe Every word you say And the love you give away Goes straight to my heart And everything you do And how you follow through Can keep us together Or tear us apart When I listen to the things you try to say Any ordinary man would fade away But if you want I'm ready to receive Well I would not have it any other way I know that I I know that I I know that I can believe Yeah And I am listening To every word you say |

I woke up this morning
Wishing you were here Another cup of coffee And then you appeared A crystal vision Shining through the rain Smiling through my window pane In the morning traffic I turn on the radio And the song that’s playing Is one that we used to know When we were dancing slowly Under the mirror ball You were singing to me I felt like we had it all It was our adventure I won’t let it slip away Gonna make it like it was before this day I will be your witness (That much I can do) That much I can do (I wanna tell the world) I just want to tell the world How much I’m missing you I will be your witness (Don’t you know it’s true) Don’t you know it’s true (I wanna testify) I just want to testify How much I’m loving you Did you ever notice Just what you mean to me You’re the piece of the puzzle That makes my world complete I need your freedom I need your company Let me tell you how it’s going to be I will be your witness (That much I can do) That much I can do (I wanna tell the world) I just want to tell the world How much I’m missing you I’ll be your alibi tonight I’ll make everything all right I will be your defense When life makes no sense Baby you just wait and see It’s a crazy crazy world Woke up this morning Wishing you were here Poured a cup of coffee And then you appeared Such a great adventure I won’t let it slip away You know I need you every night and every day I will be your witness (That much I can do) That much I can do (I wanna tell the world) I just want to tell the world How much I’m missing you I will be your witness (Don’t you know it’s true) Don’t you know it’s true (I wanna testify) I just want to testify How much I’m loving you I will be your witness (I will be your witness) What else can I do (What else can I do) I just want to tell the world How much I’m loving you |

The lines are drawn in the sand across the caress of time
The lines are drawn in the sand across the caress of time There's a face in the glass Looking through the mirror At the maze of my past It was never clearer On the distant horizon The sun approaches Better cover my eyes Better hide the roaches In the best of my time There was something better And the quest of my mind Was to try and get her Something simple and pure As the thoughts in my head Not the tears in the rain Over me she shed We were almost there Still I was unaware Here in the Brave New World's embrace I watch the parade begin Searching for one familiar face And I wonder where I fit in How will I know if there's a place For me in the Brave New World To be calm in the eye Of the human storm In house full of dreams I am safe and warm Looking back at a life Filled with warm embraces No regrets only memories Of smiling faces We were almost there Now change is in the air Until now I held the zone I ruled the world I called it home I never saw the down side See the now see the Zen There is no division Through the eyes of a child There is perfect vision And the best of our lives Resonate the hills And the sun's gonna shine And you know that I will... |

Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung How can I sleep tonight? When I know that tomorrow I'll be miles away, And how can I leave if I know when I kiss you goodbye, Baby you'll cry Where do I find the words? To convince you that there's a secret part of me, That dies every time I must pack up and walk out the door, When I'm wanting you more So while there's still time, Know that I love you, Baby please hold me tight, Girl while there's still time If I could stop the dawn, Make the moon and the stars shine on forever more, And never again have to say how much I'm missing you, But what can I do? So while there's still time, Say that you love me, Baby please hold me tight, Girl while there's still time If I should go, if I should go, There's a chance I could lose, The love of my life, the love of my life, Baby please don't make me choose Believe me Trust me Let me inside And while there's still time, Forget about tomorrow, Baby please let's not fight, Not while there's still time While there's still time While there's still time While there's still time Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh... |

Hell nobody's perfect
One hundred percent No saint, no Pope, no King no Queen No President But our hunger for heroes Has made us blind We seek salvation From the cup of human kind But every time we hear the voice Of some new Abraham We wake too late to realize It was just another scam Fallen angel, fallen angel Well I guess you were no angel after all Fallen angel, fallen angel You always take us with you when you fall I said nobody's perfect From head to toe Not Einstein or Elvis or Lenin or Marx Or Marilyn Monroe Cause it's mostly illusion In flesh and bone An image, a look, a song or a book That we all claim for our own But even in the best of us There lies beneath the skin The tragic flaw in nature's law That's bound to do us in Fallen angel, fallen angel Well I guess you were no angel after all Fallen angel, fallen angel You always take us with you when you fall Pretty faces up on the silver screen Flawless bodies on covers of magazines They all look perfect to us So rich and cool and bored But hold the presses boys They've checked into Betty Ford Turns out nobody's perfect From "A" to "Z" It's best to follow your heart Then to follow me Cause I'm only a singer Playin' a song And I've just been making it up As I went along See I met a man who told me once "Sincerity's the key And once you learn to fake it Son you're gonna be home free" Fallen angel, fallen angel Well I guess you were no angel after all Fallen angel, fallen angel You always take us with you when you fall |

by Styx Give me a job give me security Give me a chance to survive I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line My God I'm hardly alive My mother 'n father, my wife and my friends You've seen them laugh in my face But I've got the power and I've got the will I'm not a charity case I'll take those long nights, impossible odds Keeping my eye on the keyhole If it takes all that to be just what I am Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man Make me an offer that I can't refuse Make me respectable man This is my last time in the unemployment line So like it or not I'll take those long night, impossible odds Keeping my back to the wall If it takes all night to be just who I am Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man Keeping my mind on a better life Where happiness is only a heartbeat away Paradise can it be all I heard it was I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there (repeat chorus) |

Hold on tightly to your innocence
And don't you let go Until you know it's gonna be your way Through the tangle and the bramble There's a thread that runs through And it's true There's no need to be afraid Smiling ear to ear It's something in the atmosphere Every star above reflecting in your sea of love Is it just a dream Or are things as they really seem Somebody help me make the call You could be the light That shines so bright You show the way to go And if it's so Don't be too surprised Just give yourself a chance And take a glance Around to see the glow Burning in my eyes Smiling ear to ear It's something in the atmosphere Every star above reflecting in your sea of love This is not a dream It's just the way it's always been You've got to rise above it all (CHORUS I) Somewhere down the road that we follow We'll be one with everything I know as soon as tomorrow We could be arriving (First Keyboard Solo) (CHORUS II) Somewhere down the road that we follow We'll be one with everything I know as soon as tomorrow We could be arriving And in my dreams I'm there by your side Learning to fly again... The world we see, (----world we see and hear) Is a mystery, (----mystery but we) But we hold the key, (-------hold the key to the door) If we have the faith to live, (-----have the faith...) And believe... (...anymore) (Keyboard Solo II) (Repeats CHORUS II) |

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly. I'm crying. Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come. Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody tuesday. Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long. I am the eggman, they are the eggmen. I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob. Mister city policeman sitting Pretty little policemen in a row. See how they fly like lucy in the sky, see how they run. I'm crying, I'm crying. I'm crying, I'm crying. Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye. Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess, Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down. I am the eggman, they are the eggmen. I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob. Sitting in an english garden waiting for the sun. If the sun don't come, you get a tan From standing in the english rain. I am the eggman, they are the eggmen. I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob. Expert textpert choking smokers, Don't you thing the joker laughs at you? See how they smile like pigs in a sty, See how they snied. I'm crying. Semolina pilchard, climbing up the eiffel tower. Elementary penguin singing hari krishna. Man, you should have seen them kicking edgar allan poe. I am the eggman, they are the eggmen. I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob. Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob g'goo. |

Did you make your bed?
Did you lose your head? Are you still awake From the things you said? You close your eyes But the sleep won't come 'Cause you can't escape What's said and done Did you draw the line In the sand again Did you make a stand Out on a limb Don't be so hard on yourself 'Cause you can't change the world You can't change the world alone Just be You drink too much 'Cause you think too much It seems so hard to feel All that is real You numb your heart So you feel no pain' Then you miss the bliss Of the pouring rain. But there's a brand new day It's a shame to waste It's yours to live It's yours to taste Don't be so hard on yourself 'Cause you can't change the world You can't change the world alone Just be Don't be so hard on yourself 'Cause you can't change the world You can't change the world alone Just be |

Fooling Yourself
by Styx You see the world thru your cynical eyes You're a troubled young man I can see You've got it all in the palm of your hand But your hand's wet with a sweat And you head needs a rest And you're fooling yourself If you don't believe it You're kidding yourself If you don't believe it Why must you be such an angry young man When your future looks quite bright to me And how can there be such a sinister plan That could hide such a lamb Such a caring young man And you're fooling yourself If you don't believe it You're killing yourself If you don't believe it Get up, get up, get back on your feet You're the one they can't beat And you know it Come on, come on let's see what you've got Just take your best shot and don't blow it, oh |

You've seen my hands are steady
You've seen my face before Soon you can take your last look And they'll close the door I stand accused before you I have no tears to cry And you will never break me Until the day I die A criminal mind was all I All I've ever known They've tried to reform me But I'm made of cold stone My criminal mind is all I All I've ever had Ask one who's known me If I'm really so bad... I am I've spent my life behind these steel bars I've paid my debt in time But being brought to justice That was my only crime I don't regret a single action I'd do the same again These prison walls secure me And I'm numb to pain A criminal mind is all I All I've ever known They've tried to reform me But I'm made of cold stone My criminal mind is all I All I've ever had Ask one who's known me If I'm really so bad... I am Before you hand me over Before you read my sentence I'd like to say a few words Here in my own defense Some people struggle daily They struggle with their conscience 'til the end I have no guilt to haunt me I feel no wrong intent A criminal mind is all I All I've ever known Don't try to reform me Cause I'm made of cold stone My criminal mind is all I All I've ever had Ask one who's known me If I'm really so bad... I am Oh I am Oh I am I'm made of cold stone Made of cold stone I'm just like these prison walls A criminal mind |

There's a crack in the universe
People say that it's getting worse And there's no place that's safe to hide Better hope we can hitch a ride There's a sign in the road ahead Turn back or you'll end up dead Hey but I don't believe it's true 'Cause it's the road leading back to you Kiss my skin, I won't bleed Close me in, I'll go to seed Make me ask and I won't need Everything, all the time There's a face in a photograph Tryin' hard to suppress a laugh Crying out to be torn in half Should I ask for an autograph? Kiss my skin, I won't bleed Close me in, I'll go to seed Make me ask and I won't need Everything, all the time Everything, all the time Feed my hunger Ease my pain Feed my hunger won't you, oh nah nah nah Won't you ease my pain, whoa nah nah nah nah Kiss my skin, I won't bleed Close me in, I'll go to seed Make me ask and I won't need Everything, all the time Everything, all the time Everything, all the time All the time All the time All the time |

Crystal Ball
by Styx "Crystal Ball" by Styx from Crystal Ball (c) 1976 A & M I used to like to walk the straight and narrow line. I used to think everything was fine. Sometimes I'd sit and gaze for days through sleepless dreams, All alone and trapped in time. All alone and trapped in time. I wonder what tomorrow has in mind for me? Or am I even in it's mind at all? Perhaps I'll get a chance to look ahead and see. Soon as I find myself a crystal ball. Soon as I find myself a crystal ball. But tell me, tell me where I'm going, I don't know where I've been, Tell me, tell me, wont you tell me And then tell me again. My heart is breaking, My body's aching, And I don't know where to go. So tell me, tell me, wont you tell me I just gotta know. Crystal Ball There's so many things I need to know Crystal Ball There's so many things I've gotta know Crystal Ball Wont you tell me please before I go. Crystal Ball |

A mirage for both you and us. How can this be real?

(Everyone needs a place to run away, run away) Summer night, moonlit sky Tearing pages from a magazine, she cries "I don't wanna be the lonely one tonight." She said, "I came to this place, full of dreams Young and innocent and only 16 Now I wonder if it's too late to turn back. So she runs, and she hides, and she dries the tears from her eyes And the night goes on, and on, and on She's in the twilight zone (twilight zone) Yeah, you gotta run, run, run away It's such a long way home When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, run away Perfect day, feels like Spring Can see forever but you can't see anything Now I wonder why they call it "paradise" It's a crime, it's a shame And they won't remember your name And your life goes on, and on, and on It's like the twilight zone (twilight zone) Yeah, you gotta run, run, run away But she won't go home So she's gotta run, run, run away She came from a small town So tired of getting pushed around In the dark of the night, no one around She'll run from this shabby town, yeah, yeah, yeah [guitar solo] It's a laugh, it's a game Don't you let it drive you insane Cause your life goes on, and on, and on.... It's like the twilight zone (twilight zone) Yeah, you gotta run, run, run away But she won't go home When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, run away She's in the twilight zone (twilight zone) Yeah, you gotta run, run, run away It's such a long way home When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, run away [chorus fades] |

from Tommy Shaw - Ambition (2006)
I'll never know what brought me here,
As if somebody led my hand, It seems I hardly had to steer, My course was planned. And destiny it guides us all, And by it's hand we rise and fall, But only for a moment, Time enough to catch our breath again. And we're just another piece of the puzzle, Just another part of the plan, How one live touches the other, Is so hard to understand. Still we walk this road together, We travel through as far as we can, And we have waited for this moment in time, Ever since the world began. Taking in the times gone by, We wonder how it all began, We'll never know and still we Try to understand. And even though the seasons change, The reasons shall remain the same, It's love that keeps us holding on Till we can see the sun again. And we're just another piece of the puzzle, Just another part of the plan, And we have waited for this moment in time, Ever since the world began. And I stand alone, a man of stone, Against the driving rain, And the night it's got your number, And the wind it cries your name, If we search for truth, win or lose, In this we're all the same, The hope still burns eternal, We're the keeper of the flame. And we're just another piece of the puzzle, Just another part of the plan, How one live touches the other, Is so hard to understand. Still we walk this road together, We try and go as far as we can, And we have waited for this moment in time, Ever since the world began. |

Come Sail Away
by Styx I'm sailing away set an open course for the virgin sea I've got to be free free to face the life that's ahead of me On board I'm the captain so climb aboard We'll search for tomorrow on every shore And I'll try oh Lord I'll try to carry on I look to the sea reflections in the waves spark my memory Some happy some sad I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had We live happily forever so the story goes But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold But we'll try best that we can to carry on A gathering of angels appeared above my head They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said They said come sail away come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away come sail away Come sail away with me I thought that they were angels but to my surprise They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies Singing come sail away come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away come sail away Come sail away with me |

Grand Illusion
by Styx Welcome to the grand illusion Come on in and see what's happenin' Pay the price get your tickets for the show The stage is set, the band starts playin' Suddenly your heart is pounding You're wishing secretly you were a star But don't be fooled by the radio The TV or the magazine They'll show you photographs Of how your life should be But they're just someone else's fantasies So if you think your life is complete confusion 'Cause you never win the game Just remember that it's a grand illusion And deep inside we're all the same We're all the same So if you think your life is complete confusion 'Cause your neighbor's got it made Just remember that it's a grand illusion Deep inside we're all the same America spells competition Join us in our blind ambition Get yourself a brand new motor car But someday soon we'll start to ponder What on earth is this spell we're under We made the grade and still we wonder Who the hell we are |

Superstars
by Styx You've read about me in the papers You've seen me on the movie screen You know everything about me I'm your late night fantasy But don't think I can't hear you calling From the shadow of the 14th row Cause I've had the same dreams you've had A few short years ago and that's why I know You and I We will climb so high Superstars Whoa whoa You and I And we'll just close our eyes And become our fantasy Superstars yes, yes, superstars Step right this way. Everyone's welcome, We want your dreams. The offer's simple, momentary immortality Cause I've seen them all you know I've seen them climb and I've seen them fall I've seen them come and I've seen them go And through it all there's only one thing that matters Love - And that's simply You and I Yes, You and I For we are superstars Lyrics and Music by: James Young, Dennis De Young, Tommy Shaw |

Once in a dream
Far beyond these castle walls Down near the bay Where the moonlit water falls I stood alone While the minstrel sang his song So afraid I′d lost my soul There in the fog his song kept calling me Leading me on with its haunting melody Deep in my heart a voice kept echoing I knew I′d soon be wandering Far beyond these castle walls Where the distant harbour meets the sky There the battle raged like hell And every dove had lost its will to fly Far beyond these castle walls Where I thought I heard Tiresias say Life is never what it seems And every man must meet his destiny |

Mata ah-oo hima de Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, Himitsu wo shiri tai You're wondering who I am-machine or mannequin With parts made in Japan, I am the modren man I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M. So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide To keep me alive-just keep me alive Somewhere to hide to keep me alive I'm not a robot without emotions-I'm not what you see I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour, forget what you know I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control Beyond my control-we all need control I need control-we all need control I am the modren man, who hides behind a mask So no one else can see my true identity Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto For doing the jobs that nobody wants to And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto For helping me escape just when I needed to Thank you-thank you, thank you I want to thank you, please, thank you The problem's plain to see: too much technology Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize. The time has come aat last To throw away this mask So everyone caan see My true identity... I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! |

Lead vocals by tommy shaw I'm tired of your psychology To bring me to my bended knees And if I could only talk to you I'm sure that I could make you see 'cause time has a way Of bringing even mountains down, down, down Storm clouds are coming I suggest you head for higher ground I say you're a thing of the past And you ain't gonna last No matter what you say or do It's all caught up to you You're duty-free, you're tax-exempt You party with the president And you dance the dance so naturally Why not believe you're heaven-sent But time has a way of bringing Even mountains down, down, down There's a storm cloud a-comin' I insist you head for higher ground You talk talk and you get so intense That you almost make sense And that's what scares me the most You as the host of celebrity lies It's prime time, baby Can't you see in my eyes, it's a Cold war-runnin' in the streets Everybody you meet knows It's going down, don't you know Cold war-blowing in the air Everyone everywhere says it's time To get ready for a cold war Don't you look now But the skinny boy's becoming a man You say it's the luck of the draw And you can't have it all And I'll die young trying to make it Into something that ain't gonna last You ought to reconsider 'cause I'm coming fast with a Cold war-running in the streets Everybody you meet Know's it's going down, don't you know Cold war-blood is in the air Everyone everywhere says it's time To get ready for a cold war-looking at me From behind every tree There's a scared man running from a Cold war-don't you look now But the skinny boy's a streetfighting man [extra verses sung in concert during the kilroy tour:] Try as you will, you can't escape the chill That penetrates your clothing, Demanding that you feel All the trouble that surrounds you, The bad mixed with the good, The heartless bits of data waiting to be understood Information central promptly processed your request, The task we're told honestly requires you acquiesce. Well, blind faith put you where you are now You're a selfish old cow gettin' high on society's milk. We pay your bills, life should be so tough. You'd better watch your fat ass, 'cause we've had enough! |

What can I do
Pictures of you still make me cry Trying to live without your love It's so hard to do Some nights I'll wake up I'll look at your pillow Hoping that I'll see you there But I get up each day, not much to say I've nowhere to go Loneliness fills me up inside 'Cause I'm missing you So if you'll give us a chance to remember The love we had once together Wait and see Time is all that we really need I'm praying you won't say no I mean to tell you Don't let it end Baby we could have so much more Don't let it end Honey please don't walk out that door I'm telling you baby, I made my mistakes But I'll make you this promise to do what it takes I'll be there to protect you and hold you tight You got my lovin' baby every single night Don't let it end I'm begging you, don't let it end this way Don't let it end I'm begging you, don't let it end this way Don't let it end Baby we could have so much more Don't let it end Honey please don't walk out that door Don't let it end I'm begging you don't let it end this way Don't let it end I'm begging you don't let it end this way, no, no, no No, no, no What will I do If you say we're through I need you to stay, honey Don't let it end this way. |

High Time
by Styx (Dennis DeYoung) I flip the switch on my laser video And there's the man staring back at me He starts to speak in a voice so righteous About the sins of society He's got answers to all my problems Says he'll decide what I should hear and see I try to change to another station But all I get is more of his morality Morality But I see the kids of a new generation And they won't stand for this mind control They're gonna change this world we live in They're gonna bring back the rock and roll So if I can, I'm gonna break from this prison Gonna get out and join in the fight Take a chance on what I believe in Win or lose, I know it's right 'Cause it's high time For us to start a revolution JUst like A-bomb explosion It ain't the music that's in question It's more the freedom of expression Change is comin' Mind Police are comin' We're on the move The Old World is crumblin' A new day's comin' Tell your friends and relations We're on the move We're gonna start a rockin' nation High time yeah yeah (Repeat last two verses) |

Just Get Through The Night
by Styx (Tommy Shaw) This could be the longest night in recorded history And as for sleep, you might as well just cross it off the list of possibilities (Now) I'm as brave as the next man I won't turn and run from a fight And I could last a million years If I just get through this night I could be a novelist Tell secrets never heard Pour my soul into each and every sentence But I just can't find the words Still I know that you're out there And you can relate to it all And I could bear the cold and stormy winter If I just get through this fall Don't you know there's no place on this earth Where you can run to escape the pain of a broken heart It's useless to spend the time it takes you try But can't you see that I'm here And I'm looking just the same And I don't know why... I could be a movie star The king of Hollywood Make them cry, dramatically pretending To keep romance alive And I would humbly thank my director And everyone involved from the start I could blow them all away If I'd only find the the part If I just get through this night If I just get through this night |

The other side of the berlin wall is Not far enough to avoid the call Somebody knows, somebody's seen Somebody knows right where you've been And that you're just Leading a double life Friends in the daytime, strangers at night Leading a double life Can it be wrong when you know that it's right? Nowhere to hide, though we both might try I'm schizophrenic, and so am i Double life, a double life, a masquerade You know we all live a masquerade I know you're out there! Leading a double life Friends in the daytime, strangers at night Leading a double life Can it be wrong when you know that it's right? |

Haven't we been here before Footsteps lead down to the note on the door That says I can't stay here anymore And haven't we felt this same way Sure in our hearts, but afraid just the same To say I can't stay one minute more You might think that it's hopeless Beyond our control But that's not necessarily so Can't you see there's a chance For the daring young soul Who's finally learned to say no No, I won't be misused Ignored or refused And I won't just give up and let go So tonight hold me close to you And don't give up what's important to you And as time rolls on Nothng can stand in our way And I believe if we learn fromhe past We'd find keys to unlock every door Dark would turn into light We'd be strong We'd be right So tonight hold me close to you And don't give up what's important to you And as time rolls on Nothing will stand in our way And I believe if we learn from the past We'd say haven't we been here before Oh, and I believe if we open our hearts We'd find keys to unlock every door Hearts could change overnight We'd be strong...We'd be right So stay with me now The future is ours And we'll be the ones who go on |

by Styx "Crystal Ball" by Styx from Crystal Ball (c) 1976 A & M I used to like to walk the straight and narrow line. I used to think everything was fine. Sometimes I'd sit and gaze for days through sleepless dreams, All alone and trapped in time. All alone and trapped in time. I wonder what tomorrow has in mind for me? Or am I even in it's mind at all? Perhaps I'll get a chance to look ahead and see. Soon as I find myself a crystal ball. Soon as I find myself a crystal ball. But tell me, tell me where I'm going, I don't know where I've been, Tell me, tell me, wont you tell me And then tell me again. My heart is breaking, My body's aching, And I don't know where to go. So tell me, tell me, wont you tell me I just gotta know. Crystal Ball There's so many things I need to know Crystal Ball There's so many things I've gotta know Crystal Ball Wont you tell me please before I go. Crystal Ball |

She got a lot of time she got a lot of money Don′t you know that aint enough pretty thing all dressed up for the main attraction like a baby doll looking for love And she doesn′t need a reason She just hears a calling to the wild (Chorus)God gave man the breath of life to grow up strong to take a wife to change the world and love is the ritual you learn to walk & Talk & laugh & cry work your fingers to the bone till the day you die and above it all love is the ritual Little man beating his chest and flexing his muscles gun for hire he shoots for a star like a handsome prince wallking down the street in his shining armor Romeo in search of his heart There′s a method to this madness and a message calling to the wild (2nd Chorus)God gave man the breath of live to grow up strong to take a wife to change the world and love is the Ritual You learn to walk & talk & laugh & cry (He) gave you heart and soul till the day you die and above it all love is the ritual Come on dance little sister little sister wants to dance all night looking for a true romance when in a black leather jacket walks little brother to rock her world to be her lover so signal all the children send a message calling to the wild |

Written by Dennis DeYoung and James Young
Lead vocals by Dennis DeYoung When I think of Lorelei my head turns all around As gentle as a butterfly she moves without a sound I call her on the telephone, she says be there by eight Tonight′s the night she′s moving in and I can hardly wait The way she moves, ooh-ooh I gotta say Lorelei let′s live together Brighter than the stars forever Lorelei let′s live together Brighter than the stars forever Her eyes become of Paradise, she softly speaks my name She brightens every lonely night, no one′s quite the same She calls me on the telephone, she says be there by eight Tonight′s the night she′s moving in, it′s time to celebrate The way she moves, ooh-ooh I gotta say Lorelei let′s live together Brighter than the stars forever Lorelei let′s live together Brighter than the stars forever |

Time after time I sit and I wait for your call
I know I′m a fool but what can I say. Whatever the price I′ll pay for you, Madame Blue Once long ago, a word from your lips and the world turned around. But somehow you′ve changed, you′re so far away I long for the past and dream of the days with you, Madame Blue. Suite Madame Blue, gaze in your looking glass You′re not a child anymore. Suite Madame Blue, the future is all but past. Dressed in your jewels, you made your own rules You conquered the world and more ....heaven′s door (Instrumental) America....America...America...America... America....America...America...America... America....America...America...America... America....America...America...America... America....America...America...America... America....America...America...America... Red white, and blue, gaze in your looking glass You′re not a child anymore. Red, white, and blue, the future is all but past. So lift up your heart, and make a new start And lead us away from here. |

Tell me where are you going
Sweet mademoiselle To London or Paris To the Grand Hotel Where do you go at the end of the day Where do you go, when you spend time away To islands in the tropic sands Or pleasure trips to distant lands You′re searching for a dream Well maybe it′s me. I tell you hello And what do you say As I stop you go There′s no reason to stay It all began so harmlessly You gave me love so easily I never realized you were just spending time Tell me where are you going Sweet mademoiselle To London or Paris To the Grand Hotel Even though you′re far away I think about you every day And wonder if you′re thinking of me In a fond memory Sweet mademoiselle Tell me where are you going Sweet mademoiselle To London or Paris Ou Montreal Sweet Mademoiselle |

Crystal Ball
by Styx "Crystal Ball" by Styx from Crystal Ball (c) 1976 A & M I used to like to walk the straight and narrow line. I used to think everything was fine. Sometimes I'd sit and gaze for days through sleepless dreams, All alone and trapped in time. All alone and trapped in time. I wonder what tomorrow has in mind for me? Or am I even in it's mind at all? Perhaps I'll get a chance to look ahead and see. Soon as I find myself a crystal ball. Soon as I find myself a crystal ball. But tell me, tell me where I'm going, I don't know where I've been, Tell me, tell me, wont you tell me And then tell me again. My heart is breaking, My body's aching, And I don't know where to go. So tell me, tell me, wont you tell me I just gotta know. Crystal Ball There's so many things I need to know Crystal Ball There's so many things I've gotta know Crystal Ball Wont you tell me please before I go. Crystal Ball |

Grand Illusion
by Styx Welcome to the grand illusion Come on in and see what's happenin' Pay the price get your tickets for the show The stage is set, the band starts playin' Suddenly your heart is pounding You're wishing secretly you were a star But don't be fooled by the radio The TV or the magazine They'll show you photographs Of how your life should be But they're just someone else's fantasies So if you think your life is complete confusion 'Cause you never win the game Just remember that it's a grand illusion And deep inside we're all the same We're all the same So if you think your life is complete confusion 'Cause your neighbor's got it made Just remember that it's a grand illusion Deep inside we're all the same America spells competition Join us in our blind ambition Get yourself a brand new motor car But someday soon we'll start to ponder What on earth is this spell we're under We made the grade and still we wonder Who the hell we are |

Fooling Yourself
by Styx You see the world thru your cynical eyes You're a troubled young man I can see You've got it all in the palm of your hand But your hand's wet with a sweat And you head needs a rest And you're fooling yourself If you don't believe it You're kidding yourself If you don't believe it Why must you be such an angry young man When your future looks quite bright to me And how can there be such a sinister plan That could hide such a lamb Such a caring young man And you're fooling yourself If you don't believe it You're killing yourself If you don't believe it Get up, get up, get back on your feet You're the one they can't beat And you know it Come on, come on let's see what you've got Just take your best shot and don't blow it, oh |

Come Sail Away
by Styx I'm sailing away set an open course for the virgin sea I've got to be free free to face the life that's ahead of me On board I'm the captain so climb aboard We'll search for tomorrow on every shore And I'll try oh Lord I'll try to carry on I look to the sea reflections in the waves spark my memory Some happy some sad I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had We live happily forever so the story goes But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold But we'll try best that we can to carry on A gathering of angels appeared above my head They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said They said come sail away come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away come sail away Come sail away with me I thought that they were angels but to my surprise They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies Singing come sail away come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away come sail away Come sail away with me |

You were the apple of the public′s eye as you cut the ribbon at the local mall
A mirage for both you and us. How can this be real? We love your body in that photograph, your home state sure must be proud The queen of the United States, or have you lost your crown Well aren′t you Miss America Don′t you Miss America Won′t you Miss America Our love Well are you really who we think you are Or does your smile seem to wear you down Is the girl who you once were screaming to jump out And the dream that you must live - a disease for which there is no cure This roller coaster ride you′re on won′t stop to let you off Well aren′t you Miss America Don′t you Miss America Won′t you Miss America Our love Miss America, Miss America, Miss America Miss America, Miss America, Miss America Well aren′t you Miss America Don′t you Miss America Won′t you Miss America Our love Well it′s true just take a look - The cover sometimes makes the book And the judges, do they ever ask to read between your lines In your cage at the human zoo, they all stop to look at you Next year, what will you do when you have been forgotten Well aren′t you Miss America Don′t you Miss America Won′t you Miss America Our love |

Another year has passed me by
Still I look a myself and cry What kind of man have I become? All of the years I've spent in search of myself And I'm still in the dark 'Cause I can't seem to find the light alone Sometimes I feel like a man in the wildernes |

Blue Collar Man
by Styx Give me a job give me security Give me a chance to survive I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line My God I'm hardly alive My mother 'n father, my wife and my friends You've seen them laugh in my face But I've got the power and I've got the will I'm not a charity case I'll take those long nights, impossible odds Keeping my eye on the keyhole If it takes all that to be just what I am Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man Make me an offer that I can't refuse Make me respectable man This is my last time in the unemployment line So like it or not I'll take those long night, impossible odds Keeping my back to the wall If it takes all night to be just who I am Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man Keeping my mind on a better life Where happiness is only a heartbeat away Paradise can it be all I heard it was I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there (repeat chorus) |

Sing for the moment Sing for the time of your life Come for an hour Stay for a moment Stay for the rest of your life HANNAH you′re with me in spirit wherever I go To the ends of the earth and all points between high and low Each night by the stage you appear as you are The ever intangible child, ageless and timeless as Dorian Grey Oh HANNAH I know that it′s you and you′re leading me on HANNAH you′re my inspiration, my fountain of youth And as your surrogate leader I′m bound in your search for the truth And yes how the truth rushes out, when it′s become honestly clear I see your anxious and curious eyes But HANNAH I need you as much as you think you need me Come to your window tonight and we′ll fly to your dreams And we′ll Sing for the day Sing for the moment Sing for the time of your life Come for an hour Stay for a moment Stay for the rest of your life Sing for the day Sing for the moment Sing for the time of your life Come for an hour Stay for a moment Stay for the rest of your life HANNAH don′t fail me I need you like never before Father Time is at my back, on my heels, behind every door He says son when the youth has but gone from your face Will she let you grow older with grace Or will she give you up for one younger than you Oh HANNAH please tell me the things that he says aren′t true HANNAH I′m honestly hoping you′ll always be there And we′ll Sing for the day Sing for the moment Sing for the time of your life Come for an hour Stay for a moment Stay for the rest of your life Sing for the day Sing for the moment Sing for the time of your life Come for an hour Stay for a moment Stay for the rest of your life |
