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 |

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) |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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

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'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. |

Once in a dream Far beyond these castle walls Down by 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 |

It seems you finally had to choose I guess there was no other way Between my love and satin shoes I knew the words you'd have to say It all began so long ago That the memory's hardly clear But when I seen you dance I know Half your love I'll always share Ballerina when you dance there's music Colored lights illuminate your movement Crowded halls anticipate your gentle smile Ballerina from the first I knew that You would always have to dance I knew that There would surely come a day when you would go Baby I know... Dance for me, I beg of you, dance for me Dance for me, ballerina, dance for me Ballerina when you dance there's music Colored lights illuminate your movement Crowded halls anticipate your gentle smile |

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 |

All hands on deck, we've run afloat!' I heard the captain cry
'Explore the ship, replace the cook: no one leave alive!' Across the straits, around the Horn: how far can sailors fly? A twisted path, our tortured course, and no one left alive We sailed for parts unknown to man, where ships come home to die No lofty peak, nor fortress bold, could match our captain's eye Upon the seventh seasick day we made our port of call A sand so white, and sea so blue, no mortal place at all We fired the gun, and burnt the mast, and rowed from ship to shore The captain cried, we sailors wept: our tears were tears of joy Now many moons and many Junes have passed since we made land A salty dog, this seaman's log: your witness my own hand |

Runs the all-time loser, headlong to his death. He feels the piston scraping Steam breaking on his brow Old Charlie stole the handle and The train won't stop going No way to slow down. He sees his children jumping off At the stations - one by one. His woman and his best friend In bed and having fun. He's crawling down the corridor On his hands and knees Old Charlie stole the handle and The train won't stop going No way to slow down. He hears the silence howling -- Catches angels as they fall. And the all-time winner Has got him by the balls. He picks up Gideons Bible Open at page one Old Charlie stole the handle and The train won't stop going No way to slow down. |

Take off your hat, kick off your shoes.
I know you not goin' anywhere. Running around town singin' your blues. You know you ain't goin' anywhere. You've always been a good friend of mine, But just keep saying farewell. And the only time that you're satisfied, Is with your feet in the wishing well. Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself. Or is that what you're tryin' to do? Put up a fight you believe to be right, And one day the sun will shine through. You've always got somethin' to hide. Somethin' you just can't tell. And the only time that you're satisfied, Is with your feet in the wishing well. But I know what you're wishing for. Love in a peaceful world. Love in a peaceful world. Love in a peaceful world. Love in a peaceful world. You've always been a good friend of mine, But you keep saying farewell. And the only time that you're satisfied, Is with your feet in the wishing well. In the wishing well.

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.

<< Pieces Of Eight >>
--- Styx (Dennis DeYoung) It's six o'clock Good morning sounds are everywhere The warmth of spring, a gentle breeze blows through my hair I hurry through my life never stopping to see How beautiful it was meant to be I'm just a prisoner in a king's disguise Broken dreams as we shuffle by It's six o'clock it's quitting time I'm done for the day Out on the streets I overheard a lady say We now have everything or so people say BUt now this emptiness haunts me every day We seek the lion's shaare never knowing why Come alive spreaI your wings and fly CHORUS Pieces of eight The searcfor the money tree Don't cash your freedoms in for gold Pieces of eight Can't buy you everything Don't let it turn your heart to stone |

So whatcha doin′ tonight?
Have you heard that the world′s gone crazy? Young Americans listen when I say there′s people puttin′ us down I know they′re sayin′ that we′ve gone lazy To tell you the truth we′ve all seen better days Don′t need no fast buck lame duck profits for fun Quick trick plans, take the money and run We need long term, slow burn, getting it done And some straight talking, hard working son of a gun. Whatcha doin′ tonight, I got faith in our generation Let′s stick together and futurize our attitudes I ain′t lookin′ to fight, but I know with determination We can challenge the schemers who cheat all the rules Come on take pride, be wise, spottin′ the fools No more big shots, crackpots bending the rules A fair shot here for me and for you Knowing that we can′t lose And we′ll be rockin′ in Paradise Rockin′ the Paradise tonight Rockin′ in Paradise Rockin′ the Paradise tonight Tonight, tonight... |

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... |

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 |

Mirror, mirror on the wall
The face you′ve shown me scares me so I thought that I could call your bluff But now the lines are clear enough Life′s not pretty even though I′ve tried so hard to make it so Mornings are such cold distress How did I ever get into this mess I′m snowblind, can′t live without you So fine I just can′t get away Now I′m snowblind, snowblind, snowblind Harmless and innocent you devil in white You stole my will without a fight You filled me with confidence, but you blinded my eyes You tricked me with visions of Paradise Now I realize I′m Snowblind, can′t live without you So fine I just can′t get away Now I′m snowblind, snowblind, snowblind Mirror, mirror I confess I can′t escape this emptiness No more reason to pretend Here comes that same old feeling again Snowblind, can′t live without you So fine I just can′t get away Won′t you throw me a lifeline I′m going down for the third time I′m snowblind, and I can′t get away |

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. |

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 |
