Every night I say a prayer
in the hope that there`s a heaven And every day I`m more confused as the saints turn into sinners All the heroes and legends I knew as a child have fallen to idols of clay And I feel this empty place inside so afraid that I`ve lost my faith Show me the way, show me the way Take me tonight to the river And wash my illusions away Please, show me the way And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred I close my eyes and know there`s peace in a world so filled with hatred Then I wake up each morning and turn on the news to find we`ve so far to go And I keep on hoping for a sign, so afraid that I just won`t know Show me the way, Show me the way bring me tonight to the mountain and take my confusion away and show me the way And if I see a light, should I believe tell me how will I know Show me the way, show me the way take me tonight to the river and wash my illusions away Show me the way, show me the way Give me the strength and the courage to believe that I`ll get there someday And please show me the way And every night I say a prayer in the hope that there`s a heaven... |

Edge Of The Century
by Styx Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik Living on the edge of the century See the world in revolution Spinning faster all the time We're heading for the end of something Just about to step across that line Oh, can't you see? We're staring in the face of reality Oh, you and me We're living on the edge of the century Feel the way the earth is shaking Hear the rumble miles away Say goodby to Checkpoint Charlie Walls are falling every day Oh, can't you see? Every step we take we're making history Oh, you and me We're living on the edge of the century [alternate 2nd verse from the 1999 tour] Feel the way the earth is shaking Fires and floods and hurricanes A voice cries out in revelation "Say hello to Y2K!" Oh, can't you see? We're jumpin on the ledge of uncertainty Oh, you and me We're living on the edge of the century Can't turn off the information Can't sit back in your easy chair Can't ignore a generation Better get ready cause we're almost there We're moving at the speed of life Into a brave new world where the strong will survive The dawn's gonna break and I'll meet you On the other side Can't stand still while the earth is turning Can't take cover til the coast is clear Can't play guitar while Rome is burning Look our now cause the future's here And we're moving at the speed of life Living on the edge On the edge of the century |

Love At First Sight
by Styx Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Driving past your house again I feel the same way I did then I get weak, just thinking about you It all began so easily A look from you a glance from me Then our eyes met like thunder & lightning You and I, strangers lost in a moment Eye to eye We were caught unaware of the passion inside us Love at first sight I know that this can't be happening No, not to someone like me Love at first sight So rare, and so exciting I only hope this love we found can last I'm not a man who acts this way But lately I can't concentrate And I don't sleep, just dreaming about you I try to reach you on the phone But voices there say you're not home And my heart aches, thinking I've lost you One more time, seeing your face in the moonlight One more chance to be caught unaware Of this passion inside us Love at first sight I know that this can't be happening No, not to someone like me Love at first sight It's hard to keep your balance Moving past the point of no return If you need some time To understand your feelings If you need some time away I'll be waiting for you With open arms my love All that night We made love in the moonlight Eye to eye We were so unaware of the passion inside us Love at first sight I know that this can't be happening No, not to someone like me Love at first sight So rare, and so exciting I only hope this love we found can last |

She wakes up from a dream, checks the mirror for reality
She says "Come on girl, it's all in a day's work" Gets herself dressed just in time, disappears on the 8:05 Oo, the whistle blows and it's all in a day's work 'Til she calls it a day Oh, she smiles as he glances up from the swimsuit issue Oh, she sighs as he walks away into the downtown day CHORUS (Day after day night after night) (Loneliness creeps in her window) (She locks the door, turns off the light) (Rehearsing a kiss on her pillow) (She cries) it's all in a day's work Turning pages while the memories pass Familiar faces from her senior class How the years go by when it's all in a day's work "Dearest Ruby, hope you reach your star Don't ever change, stay as sweet as you are" And when a teardrop falls, she calls it a day's work She calls it a day Oh, she waits by the telephone for the call he promised Oh, it's late, she puts her heart away for another day CHORUS CHORUS All in a day's work Yeah Oo |

Tonite's the night I'm Gonna bang my drum. Gotta million watts on the tip of my tongue And I feel like a trigger on a loaded gun. Crank up the station. Shake the foundation. Wake up the nation We got a situation where someone's got a button, connected to a bomb And it don't matter whose side you're on They can have it all back by the morning light, All we want is the world tonite. Girls wanna dance, the boys wanna fight Gonna get rocking in the world tonite Read all about it in black and white Everybody gone crazy in the world tonite |

Carrie Ann
by Styx Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Time stands still, baby when I touch you I can't believe the way I'm feelin' Please don't speak, it's taken me all this time To find the strength just to say That I never knew what love was til I met you Never thought that I could act this way But I'm still afraid to show how much I need you Tell me, what makes a man like me this way Carrie Ann, don't ask me why Baby I work so hard just to hide my emotions Carrie Ann, words can't explain The way that I feel in my heart Lovers' hearts never quite beat in time They never find that perfect rhythm You know I let you down many times But this I promise to you That I'll never lead you through doors of deception I won't bind you to a chain of lies Though I know my love for you won't be perfection What I give to you will last all time Carrie Ann, don't ask me why Baby I work so hard just to hide my emotions Carrie Ann, my words can't explain The way that I feel in my heart Take a little time to realize I'll love you faithfully Just take a little time and you'll see That baby it's me Carrie Ann, don't ask me why Baby I work so hard just to hide my emotions Carrie Ann, my words can't explain The way that I feel in my heart |

Homewrecker
by Styx Lead Vocals by James Young She's got heavy equipment She'll turn your head in an instant She like to rock and roll all night long She's a one woman wrecking crew Playing the part of an ingenue In your personal tragedy Veiled in a false innocence, so clever The poison catalyst of your self destruction She's a homewrecker Like a real steam roller She's gonna drive you into the ground She's a heartbreaker A real mischief maker You know she'll walk away & never look back Just a near fatal attraction Maybe a psychotic reaction You just can't stop yourself, right or wrong Your tangled web of sin Put you in the state you're in Trapped by her passionate design Sentenced to loneliness, forever Destined for emptiness & down on your knees Just a near fatal attraction Maybe a psychotic reaction You just can't stop yourself, right or wrong Your mind's in disarray, left all alone to play In the wreckage of your shattered dreams But can you escape, no never And there won't be any happy endings |
