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 |

A Day
woke up in rainy autumn morning mist beginning to wane and the birds of the winged trees calling my name care less the clouds above me the wind is gently lifting my hair where the rivers of the wind fall light rain now stand bare listen to the flowing streams golden in the shelter of my dreams playing a song on the meadow that echoes with love .. walk alone through the garden the leaves are wet with morning's tear and the whispering of someone is drawing me near content to rest awhile pondering the motion of time over unforgotten memories dipped in wine listen to the flowing streams golden in the shelter of my dreams playing a song on the meadow that echoes with love [instrumental solos] the god of dusk is falling around me the night air now restless and dank yet the fields are specked with flowers few and rank moon reflecting off the water rippling an image to me of the way that it is and the way that it's going to be listen to the flowing streams golden in the shelter of my dreams playing a song on the meadow that echoes with love |

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 |

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 |

What can I do Never before have I been untrue I've given my life No family or friends no children no wife I've asked no reward Just the work of our Lord Where can I go With every breath I fear for my soul God how I've tried To keep these passions locked up inside But now I confess To these sins of the flesh Esmerelda that gypsy that temptress has stolen my heart Here in a world where it's hard to believe A spell has been cast over me Tell me what can I do Ave Maria Pray for me in my moment of need Ave Maria How I hope tonight that you'll send your guiding light to me - Quasimodo - Look at this face All that I've known is fear and disgrace I yearn for love Mother of God look down from above And give me the words that speak only to her For all of my life I've been consumed By anger and spite Could you not see How the whole world reacted to me I pity the child Who has been so reviled But the moment she touched me I swear that my soul came alive And though I fear love never could be For her and someone like me I need to know Ave Maria Pray for all banished children of Eve Ave Maria How I hope tonight That you'll send your guiding light to me (Repeat chorus in duet) |

I was lucky you know
I wasn't there I didn't have to go and face my fear But still this hidden pain Comes up from the belly of the beast And even ten years past We're haunted now from both sides of the truth And the ghosts of Dien Bien Phu This war keeps hanging on As if it were today 'Cause many a good men died On the road from Tet to Hue They won every battle they fought But the one that raged at home And now the only words that count Are the names carved out in stone As tears fall onto stone Black Wall Black Wall Sound the bugle boy For a twenty-one gun salute Call for the ticker tape And assemble all the troops Not a word about dominoes Or the horrors of napalm Let Johnny come marching home And greet him with a prayer and a psalm For the boys of Vietnam The boys of Vietnam Let Johnny come back to the world Back to the world Back to the world |

I was so cool back in sixty-five I had it made 'cause I understood what to do to survive I had my car, and I made the scene Didn't give a damn about no gasoline They can go to hell My friend we never thought about the world And its realities The promised land was ours We were the Great Society I'm so confused by the things I read, I need the truth But the truth is, I don't know who to believe The left say yes, and the right says no I'm in between and the more I learn Well, the less that I know I got to make a show Livin' high, living fine Livin' high on borrowed time Yes! 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!) Livin' high (We're livin', livin' high) On Prestwick Drive (Catch me on Prestwick Drive!...) Livin' high (...gettin' in and drivin' my Mercedes...) Livin' fine (...up and down and up and down -- shit! I don't....) |

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... |

No fear
No pain Never any need to worry again More new cures No more war We're better off now than we were before And the sun will always shine You never shed a tear again In the brave new world You never shed a tear again In the brave new world Here in the brave new world's embrace I watch the parade begin How will I know if there's a place For me in the brave new world Heavy, heavy water Won't wash away the sins of the father Who's that walking out the door Who can't take it any more Who's walking that path will fall Forever (Heavy) You tell me who's number one (Heavy water) Who's not here who's having fun (Won't wash away the sins of the father) Who's that knocking on the door Who's not taking any more Who's been down that road before Without you |

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone - somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long - somebody holds the key Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time Well, and I'm wasted and I can't find my way home Come down on your own and leave your money at home - somebody must change You are the reason I've been waiting all these years - somebody holds the key Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home |

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 |

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 |

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 |

Written by tommy shaw
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! |

"Is this the train to Desert Moon?" was all she said
But I knew I'd heard that stranger's voice before I turned to look into her eyes, but she moved away She was standing in the rain Trying hard to speak my name They say first love never runs dry The waiter poured our memories into tiny cups We stumbled over words we longed to hear We talked about the dreams we'd lost, or given up When a whistle cut the night And shook silence from our lives As the last train rolled towards the dune Those summer nights when we were young We bragged of things we'd never done We were dreamers, only dreamers And in our haste to grow too soon We left our innocence on Desert Moon We were dreamers, only dreamers On Desert Moon, on Desert Moon On Desert Moon, Desert Moon I still can hear the whisper of the summer night It echoes in the corners of my heart The night we stood and waited for the desert train All the words we meant to say All the chances swept away Still remain on the road to the dune Those summer nights when we were young We bragged of things we'd never done We were dreamers, only dreamers Moments pass, and time moves on But dreams remain for just as long As there's dreamers, all the dreamers On Desert Moon, on Desert Moon On Desert Moon, Desert Moon |

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. |

I've got my dreams
I know you think that's crazy But I won't give up 'Cause I've got this burning desire in me Oh baby it's me While the world sleeps I sit up all night thinking And making my plans 'Cause there's something special ahead for me Something ahead for me So don't you tell me that I'm wasting my time, ruining my life And that the odds against me are a million-to-one, don't be concerned I'll take the heat for all the chances I'm gonna take Mistakes that I'll make Wait and see You're gonna hear from me So don't wait for heroes, do it yourself You've got the power Winners are losers Who got up and gave it just one more try One more try… One more try If you're waiting for that miracle train to call out your name And if you think the rainbow always finds someone else, never yourself Just look inside and find that spark that's burning in you Follow it through The light you find Well, it could change your life So don't wait for heroes Think for yourself Make your own choices You know it's easy To follow the crowd But my advice is Don't wait for heroes Believe in yourself You've got the power Winners are losers Who got up and gave it just one more try |

Written by james young
Lead vocals by james young In the dark so all alone Slowly reach for the telephone A message waits just for you A secret place, another rendezvous It's not always honesty That is the best policy But little lies can give you away Though you'll deny it if they say maybe 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? 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? |

I woke up today, the papers spoke of a man we know
He's made of the stuff they say that first made our country grow Living in style, traveling to distant lands Better hang tough, for now it's time to make your stand Can we ignore the basic facts of history Or deny what people say is destiny I think the message is ever so loud and clear Eddie, now don't you run You know you're a bootlegger's son And you saw just what it's done to the others Eddie, now don't you run It's the end of all your fun And you saw just what they've done To your brothers Can we ignore the basic facts of history Or deny what people say is destiny First in the eighties but last of the sons First in the eyes of his countrymen I think the message is ever so loud and clear Eddie, now don't you run You know you're a bootlegger's son And you saw just what it's done to the others Eddie, now don't you run It's the end of all your fun And you saw just what they've done To your brothers |

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 |

It's coming on like a fever
Burning deep inside of your brain Have you become a believer Have you gone a little insane Tonight your life is a party Let the celebration begin Turn on the lights and let's start it Find out what condition your condition is in Check in Check out No one needs to know What you're thinking about In the here In the now You can take it in While you're working it out 'Cause you're into it When you're out of it Everything is cool in the land Of the brave new world Hail to the new corporation Fulfilling every need and desire Come take a mental vacation The reservation never expires I say we make it a holiday Bigger than the 4th of July Declare a new Independance Day Yeah there's nothing to it You can do it if you try Time is always on our side Love is there to be our guide We are spirits pure and free And all our dreams are meant to be Realized But if we were granted just one minute To choose a dream and stay there in it How could we decide? We are a sea of tranquility We are the new golden age History is a mystery We will start it over on A blank new page Check in Check out No one needs to know What you're thinking about In the here In the now You can take it in While you're working it out 'Cause you're into it When you're out of it Everything is cool in the land Of the brave new world And life is good |

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 |

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 |

The lights are low
And we're alone The fire's glow It keeps us warm As I reach out and touch your face The moon lights up our first embrace But please don't hesitate Hold my hand, don't be afraid Of the feelings in your heart Just close your eyes, no one will mind If we're to fall in love this first time Don't be afraid of love Don't be afraid of love Don't be afraid of love It's the first time The first time for love There could be so many worlds and mountains We could climb Together, the two of us tonight The two of us, we're quite a pair These lonely nights we both can share So don't be shy, 'cause it's okay I understand feeling that way Hold my hand, don't be afraid Of the feelings in your heart Close your eyes, no one will mind If we're to fall in love this first time It's the first time The first time for love There could be so many worlds and mountains We could climb Together, the two of us tonight |
