Young, rich and famous What you want to be You give it everything you got But your sympathy Been with everybody in the magazines You know you're spinning so fast That you're runing out of fantasies What you want is What you need is Whata you're willing to be It's so strange You feel so insane It's like--who's that talking to me Here's your 15 minutes of fame What you gonna give me To ease the pain When it's all over Won't know your name Here's your 15 minutes of fame No satisfaction Your simple creed You know you pour in everyone you got Just to fill the need No doubt you're witness To a major scene But you better not lose your touch Or you're history What you want is What you need is What you're willing to be It's so starange You feel so insane It's like--who's that talking to me Here's your 15 minutes of fame It's a risky business It's a liar's game Into the spotlight and out again Come and get your 15 Your 15 minutes of fame Here's your 15 minutes of fame It's a risky business It's a liar's game Into the spotlight and out again Come and get your 15 Your 15 minutes of fame |

There's a face in the mirror, and you close your eyes
Much easier to turn away, than to take a look inside So you're thinking it's over, walking away Let your little world crash and burn, ooh what a price to pay Didn't anybody tell you it's not who's right or wrong Hold the line, is this what's going on? Where you going now? When your world's turned inside out Isn't love what it's all about? Where you going now? When you get to the top of the hill Gonna be there yes I will There's a crack in the mirror, there's a hole in the sun Full moon in the midnight sky, and you feel like you wanna run So you blow out the candle and you turn out the light Then you stumble into darkness - who'd believe that love is blind? Didn't anybody tell you it's never too late to try? Hold the line, before you say goodbye Where you going now? When your world's turned inside out Isn't love what it's all about? Where you going now? When you get to the top of the hill Gonna be there yes I will Now I'm not talking about what's good for me And I'm not saying how you ought to be But if there is a message shining on through to you Take a little peace of mind and let that love-light shine Didn't anybody tell you it's never too late to try? Hold the line, before you say goodbye Where you going now? When your world's turned inside out Isn't love what it's all about? Where you going now? When you get to the top of the hill Gonna be there yes I will Where you going now? When your world's turned inside out Isn't love what it's all about? Where you going now? When you get to the top of the hill Gonna be there yes I will Gonna be there yes I will |

There was a time When a man lived by his word And the simple truth Was not so hard to take When his enemies Were thousands of miles away And he stood by The promises he'd make All that I ask for All that I need Is someone that I can believe Yeah Just like the air That we breathe in a single day To a drowning man How much do you think he'd pay All that I ask for All that I need Is someone that I can believe When I listen to the things you try to say Any ordinary man would fade away But if you want I'm ready to receive I know that I can believe Every word you say And the love you give away Goes straight to my heart And everything you do And how you follow through Can keep us together Or tear us apart When I listen to the things you try to say Any ordinary man would fade away But if you want I'm ready to receive Well I would not have it any other way I know that I I know that I I know that I can believe Yeah And I am listening To every word you say |

I woke up this morning
Wishing you were here Another cup of coffee And then you appeared A crystal vision Shining through the rain Smiling through my window pane In the morning traffic I turn on the radio And the song that’s playing Is one that we used to know When we were dancing slowly Under the mirror ball You were singing to me I felt like we had it all It was our adventure I won’t let it slip away Gonna make it like it was before this day I will be your witness (That much I can do) That much I can do (I wanna tell the world) I just want to tell the world How much I’m missing you I will be your witness (Don’t you know it’s true) Don’t you know it’s true (I wanna testify) I just want to testify How much I’m loving you Did you ever notice Just what you mean to me You’re the piece of the puzzle That makes my world complete I need your freedom I need your company Let me tell you how it’s going to be I will be your witness (That much I can do) That much I can do (I wanna tell the world) I just want to tell the world How much I’m missing you I’ll be your alibi tonight I’ll make everything all right I will be your defense When life makes no sense Baby you just wait and see It’s a crazy crazy world Woke up this morning Wishing you were here Poured a cup of coffee And then you appeared Such a great adventure I won’t let it slip away You know I need you every night and every day I will be your witness (That much I can do) That much I can do (I wanna tell the world) I just want to tell the world How much I’m missing you I will be your witness (Don’t you know it’s true) Don’t you know it’s true (I wanna testify) I just want to testify How much I’m loving you I will be your witness (I will be your witness) What else can I do (What else can I do) I just want to tell the world How much I’m loving you |

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... |

Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung How can I sleep tonight? When I know that tomorrow I'll be miles away, And how can I leave if I know when I kiss you goodbye, Baby you'll cry Where do I find the words? To convince you that there's a secret part of me, That dies every time I must pack up and walk out the door, When I'm wanting you more So while there's still time, Know that I love you, Baby please hold me tight, Girl while there's still time If I could stop the dawn, Make the moon and the stars shine on forever more, And never again have to say how much I'm missing you, But what can I do? So while there's still time, Say that you love me, Baby please hold me tight, Girl while there's still time If I should go, if I should go, There's a chance I could lose, The love of my life, the love of my life, Baby please don't make me choose Believe me Trust me Let me inside And while there's still time, Forget about tomorrow, Baby please let's not fight, Not while there's still time While there's still time While there's still time While there's still time Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh... |

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 |

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) |

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 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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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

(Everyone needs a place to run away, run away) Summer night, moonlit sky Tearing pages from a magazine, she cries "I don't wanna be the lonely one tonight." She said, "I came to this place, full of dreams Young and innocent and only 16 Now I wonder if it's too late to turn back. So she runs, and she hides, and she dries the tears from her eyes And the night goes on, and on, and on She's in the twilight zone (twilight zone) Yeah, you gotta run, run, run away It's such a long way home When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, run away Perfect day, feels like Spring Can see forever but you can't see anything Now I wonder why they call it "paradise" It's a crime, it's a shame And they won't remember your name And your life goes on, and on, and on It's like the twilight zone (twilight zone) Yeah, you gotta run, run, run away But she won't go home So she's gotta run, run, run away She came from a small town So tired of getting pushed around In the dark of the night, no one around She'll run from this shabby town, yeah, yeah, yeah [guitar solo] It's a laugh, it's a game Don't you let it drive you insane Cause your life goes on, and on, and on.... It's like the twilight zone (twilight zone) Yeah, you gotta run, run, run away But she won't go home When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, run away She's in the twilight zone (twilight zone) Yeah, you gotta run, run, run away It's such a long way home When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, run away [chorus fades] |
