Lady
by Styx Lady, when you're with me I'm smiling Give me all your love Your hands build me up when I'm sinking Just Touch me and my troubles all fade Lady, from the moment I saw you Standing all alone You gave all the love that I needed So shy, like a child who has grown You're my lady of the morning Love shines in your eyes Sparkling, clear, and lovely You're my lady Lady, turns me on when I'm lonely Show me all your charm Evenings when she lays down beside me Just take me gently into your arms Your my Lady of the morning Love shines in your eyes Sparkling, clear, and lovely You're my lady Lady of the morning Love shines in your eyes Sparkling, clear, and lovely You're my ... lady |

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 ...) |

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 |

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... (Too much time on my hands) Tick tick tick ticking away (Too much time on my hands) Umm mmm... (Too much time on my hands) Too much time on my hands Too much time on my |

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 |

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... |

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 |

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) |

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 |

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 |

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. |

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 |
