Take me back to my boat on the river
I need to go down, need to come down Take me back to my boat on the river And I won′t cry out any more Time stands still as I gaze in her waters She eases me down, touching me gently With the waters that flow past my boat on the river So I don′t cry out anymore Oh the river is wide river it touches my life like the waves on the sand all roads lead to Tranquillity Base Where the frown on my face disappears Take me down to my boat on the river And I won′t cry out anymore Oh the river is deep river it touches my life like the waves on the sand all roads lead to Tranquillity Base Where the frown on my face disappears Take me down to my boat on the river I need to go down, with you let me go down Take me back to my boat on the river And I won′t cry out anymore I won′t cry out anymore I won′t cry out anymore |

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. |

Queen Of Spades
by Styx (James Young/Dennis DeYoung) Day into night she's with me How sweet is her warm embrace Safe in the scent of jasmine So safe in her gold and lace Mornings I find, she's left me So cold so alone, but aware I try to escape, she finds me Oh run though I may, she's there, there, there, there, there... Luck is a lady whose smile is as cold as a stone She'll bring you things, many things you might never have known But when your die is cast she'll have the final laugh at you She'll lock you in a duel, where you come out the fool CHORUS Beware of the Queen of Spades Her black widow's curse might find you yet Beware of a love that you will regret Her love means only your death Day into night she's with me Turn of a card, she's there The first time is free, you know But from now on, pay me, me, me, me, me... CHORUS |

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 |

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) |

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... |

No! Yes! No! No! Yes! No! Yes! Faith be with me now I'm just a dreamer in a dreamland Faith be with me now I'm just a dreamer in a dreamland 'Cause we're Livin' high Livin' fine (You know I'm livin' fine) Livin' high (Yes I'm livin' high) On borrowed time (On borrowed time) Livin' high (Whoohoo!) Livin' fine (Ahhh!) Livin' high On Lake Shore Drive (Midnight ride) Livin' high (We're livin' high) On Leslie Lane (Let's go back and play it again!) Livin' high (We're livin' high) On Red Bud Trail (On Red Bud, Red Bud Trail!) Livin' high On Central Drive (He's on Central Drive!)

Too Much Time On My Hands
by Styx Yeah, here I am sitting on this bar stool, talking like a damn fool Got the twelve o'clock news blues And I've given up hope for the afternoon soaps And a bottle of cold brew Is it any wonder I'm not crazy Is it any wonder I'm sane at all Well I'm so tired of losing I've got nothing to do and all day to do it Well I'd go out cruising, but I've no place to go and all night to get there Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal Is it any wonder I'm not in jail Is it any wonder I've got too much time on my hands It's ticking away with my sanity I've got too much time on my hands It's hard to believe such a calamity I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away, ticking away from me (Too much time on my hands) It's tick tick tick tick ticking away (Too much time on my hands) And I don't know what to do with myself (Too much time on my hands) (Too much time on my hands) (Too much time on my hands) (Too much time on my hands) Now I'm a jet fuel genius I can solve the world's problems without even trying I've got dozens of friends, and the fun never ends That is as long as I'm buying Is it any wonder I'm not the President Is it any wonder I'm null and void Is it any wonder I've got too much time on my hands It's ticking away with my sanity I've got too much time on my hands It's hard to believe such a calamity I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away, ticking away from me (Too much time on my hands) Ticky tick tick tick tick ticking away (Too much time on my hands) And I don't know what to do with myself (Too much time on my hands) Umm mmm...

I guess we used to be the lucky ones
Whose fortune smiles on everyone Stop A voice said you best beware Stop Bad luck is everywhere And sure enough the voice was right My luck changed overnight Stop Please tell me what went wrong Stop I can't take these ups and downs Hard times come, hard times go And in between you hope and pray The scars don't show 'Cause life is strange and so unsure The days you hardly make it through You swear that there's a curse on you 'Cause nothing seems to fit And things won't go your way You know you've had enough You've got the right to say Why me, why me Stop Here comes anxiety Stop Won't you please let me be, I need relief Hard times come, hard times go In between you hope and pray The scars don't show 'Cause life is strange and so unsure The days you hardly make it through You're sure that there is a curse on you If nothing seems to fit And things won't go your way You know you've had enough You can't take another day Where to go and what to do You've got those bills to pay You're really not alone you know 'Cause everybody says, Why me |

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 |

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 |

Tonight's the night we'll make history. Honey you and I.
And I'll take any risk to tie back the hands of time, And stay with you here toinght (with you tonight, with you tonight) I know you feel these are the worst of times. I do believe it's true. When people lock their doors, and hide inside. Rumour has it it's the end of Paradise. But I know, if the world if the world just passed us by, baby I know I wouldn't have to cry Chorus: The best of times, are when I'm alone with you. Some rain some shine, we'll make this a world for two. Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime We'll take the best forget the rest and some day we'll find These are the best of times These are the best of times The headlines read "These Are The Worst Of Times", I do believe it's true. I feel so helpless like a boat against the tide. I wish the summer winds could bring back paradise. But I know, if the world turned upside down, baby I know You'd always be around (Repeat Chorus) (When I'm alone with you, you brighten up the night!) (When I'm alone with you ...) |

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 |

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) |

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. |
