All The Years (Robert Lamm, Bruce Gaitsch) You ask me what I think I tell you, you ignore it The reasons for it make me crazy You ask me what is right Huh, you never hear it You're never nowhere near it baby I spent my life believing It would not end this way All the Years we wasted All the Years we tried All the restless hours All the times we cried You ask me what I want I got no answer I know I'm only dancing faster So now we're stuck with us With you and all your stories Who's the fool and who's the liar I spent my life believing It would not end this way All the years we wasted All the years we tried All the restless hours All the times we cried All the years we gambled All the years you lied All the hopeless dreamers All the dreams All the dreams that died All the years we wasted All the years we tried All the restless hours All the times we cried All the years we gambled All the years you lied All the hopeless dreamers All the dreams All the dreams that died All the years we wasted All the years we tried All the restless hours All the times we cried (fade) Stone of Sisyphus (Lee Loughnane, Dawayne Bailey) Tomorrow is teasing me Time seems to run away from the future But this could be that lucky day A dream is make believe until Blood, sweat and tears turn faith to will It's gonna take some miracle, man To show there's a way I'm gonna take the Stone Of Sisyphus I'm gonna roll it back to you Building a wall of stone Sometimes you know what's right Sometimes wrong is better than nothing They cast a stone so heavy to turn I believe in a love so true I believe you get what's coming to you We get so tired of living a dream For some other day I'm gonna take the Stone Of Sisyphus I'm gonna roll it back to you Wall of stone around the two of us That only angels can break through Looks like it's another Of those lonely nights Will we always be alone That's never kept me from you That's never stopped me from the fight I'm gonna take the Stone Of Sisyphus I'm gonna roll it back to you I'll take the Stone of Sisyphus Wall of stone around the two of us I'm gonna roll it back to you I'm gonna take the Stone Of Sisyphus A wall of stone around the two of us I'm gonna take the Stone Of Sisyphus A wall of stone around the two of us I'm gonna take the Stone Of Sisyphus (fade) Bigger than Elvis (Jason Scheff, Peter Wolf, Ina Wolf) Come, let's talk just you and me For once just let me be The little boy you used to know Relive that summer's bliss 'Cause there came no more like this Those were the days The days when love was still in style All I ever dreamed I'd be Is what you are to me Bigger than Elvis And for all the missing years A memory reappears Bigger than Elvis I saw you on TV The king, you were to me Could you feel me watching you? At times my heart got mad Only heros are allowed to run free That they could come back inside of me All I ever dreamed I'd be Is what you are to me Bigger than Elvis And for all the missing years A memory reappears Bigger than Elvis We know the saddest of goodbyes Must be the one That's bringing tears to your child's eyes Oh, from now on I'll walk with you Making music like you do Would you believe I always knew? You were never hard to take In some mysterious way Bigger than Elvis And for all the missing years Your memory reappears Bigger than Elvis Now I've found the missing years, Forgotten all my tears. I've found the missing years. Sleeping in the Middle of the Bed Again (Robert Lamm) [many lyrics not clear] Call it a love storm Howl like a newborn Trying hard to stay warm My color of the storm..... It takes you to apocalypse Looking for the big hit, .......the day trip ....... Time after time I blow me away Sign by the streets now Run and let me pray now Winter's here, I believe it's here to stay I read somewhere that religion is for people Who want to stay outta hell I was praying for a sign or a vision or a message 'Til you been there you won't get well I was sitting in a room I never recognized it with the picture before my eyes I was sleeping in the middle of the bed again I'm not sure this qualifies Lost in a crosswalk Battle on the half .... Crawling cause I can't talk Trying 'til it finally caught up with me Flashing like a neon Noisy as an A-bomb Looking to the beyond Staring and laughing at eternity Time after time I blow me away Time on the street now Run and let me pray now Winter's here, I believe it's here to stay I read somewhere that religion is for people Who want to stay outta hell I was praying for a sign or a vision or a message 'Til you been there you won't get well I was sitting in a room I never recognized it with the picture before my eyes I was sleeping in the middle of the bed again I'm not sure this qualifies I read somewhere that religion is for people Who swear they need to be saved I was sleeping in the middle of the bed again, You can trust me, I will be brave (spoken dialogue) New York, New York The Big Apple New York, New York New York, New York Sixteen million feet Stepping on each other New York is a state of mind Time after time I blow me away Time on the street now Run and let me pray now Winter's here, I believe it's here to stay I read somewhere that religion is for people Who want to stay outta hell I was praying for a sign or a vision or a message 'Til you been there you won't get well I was sitting in a room I never recognized it with the picture before my eyes I was sleeping in the middle of the bed again I'm not sure this qualifies I read somewhere that religion is for people Who swear they need to be saved I was sleeping in the middle of the bed again, You can trust me I will be brave I read somewhere that religion is for people Who swear they need to be saved I was sleeping in the middle of the bed again, You can trust me I will be brave Mah Jongg (Jason Scheff, Brock Walsh, Aaron Sigman) Third floor walk-up One block east of Chinatown She walked by my window While the rain is pouring down Looking in she sees the easy money life everywhere And it's clear she don't approve (And it's clear she don't approve) Through a cloud of smoke I shoot a little smile over there and I know what she's thinking She don't Mah Jongg, Mah Jongg she don't play She don't Mah Jongg, waste your loving way She don't Mah Jongg, Mah Jongg she don't play But she loves to play With the dark eyes burning I am opening the wall Can there be no other chance? I feel my fortune's turning And I wish for nothing else at all Looking up I see her signal with her fingers through her hair Telling me the hands are clean On I stand and well I turn a dragon tail into a pair And the game is over She don't Mah Jongg, Mah Jongg she don't play She don't Mah Jongg, waste your loving way She don't Mah Jongg, Mah Jongg she don't play Though I don't obey her Still she loves to play her She don't Mah Jongg, Mah Jongg she don't play She don't Mah Jongg, waste your loving way She don't Mah Jongg, Mah Jongg she don't play Though I don't obey her Still she loves to play her A tree grows up from where the lanterns light the parlors on the street .... waiting at the ..... And though there are not many things upon which she and I agree We'll enjoy the difference She don't Mah Jongg, Mah Jongg she don't play She don't Mah Jongg, waste your loving way She don't Mah Jongg, Mah Jongg she don't play Though I don't obey her Still she loves to play her She don't Mah Jongg, Mah Jongg she don't play She don't Mah Jongg, waste your loving way She don't Mah Jongg, Mah Jongg she don't play Though I don't obey her Still she loves to play her She don't Mah Jongg, Mah Jongg she don't play She don't Mah Jongg, waste your love that way She don't Mah Jongg, Mah Jongg she don't play (fade) Let's Take a Lifetime (Jason Scheff, Brock Walsh, Aaron Sigman) Say no more If you want to kiss goodnight that's alright by me Close your door Make sure the latch is tight Fall gently to sleep We don't have to rush ahead Puttin' questions in your head And an ache in your heart Let's take a lifetime All that we desire Build it day by day into forever Let's take a lifetime All that you require Here and now and ever In these times Love is not some harmless game It's played strictly for keeps No, it's no crime Wanting me to feel the same With water so deep Come tomorrow once again Be together, until then We've dreaming to do Let's take a lifetime All that we desire Build it day by day into forever Let's take a lifetime All that you require Here and now and lasting ever more So hard to leave you standing there In the light you look so lovely If we must wait No use tempting fate Let's take a lifetime All that we desire Build it day by day into forever Let's take a lifetime All that you require Let's not hurry through the night When our love will last a lifetime All that we desire Build it day by day into forever Let's take a lifetime All that you require Let's not hurry through the night When our love could last a lifetime All that we desire (fade) The Pull (Jason Scheff, Robert Lamm, Peter Wolf) Summertime came too soon Summers in Kansas often do And the air was still I felt the pull I recall the heat rising from the ground in a way And I knew I was the first to pass this way I believe I stepped across some line Or I stumbled through that doorway in space and time Like a drunk who blacks out from the wine Never remembers his name I always feel so alone Wherever I am I feel the pull And the life I've left behind, the pull And in case I have no future, I've got the past There's no telling just how long this play will last I believe I stepped across some line Or I stumbled through that doorway in space and time Like a drunk who blacks out from the wine Never remembers his name Never remembers I'm down, walking through a storm I hear a voice inside, crying it calls my name like a judge accusing Black robe hanging down Oh don't forget, be brave about your love Well I walk across the murky moon And there's flashes in my eyes I don't know what I'm doin' Like a drunk who blacks out from the wine Never remembers his name Like a drunk who blacks out from the wine Never remembers his name Never remembers his name I never remember my name Here With Me (Candle For The Dark) (James Pankow, Robert Lamm) We rode the train From Paris to the cold Atlantic shore The winter rain Kept us in each others arms until the dawn Do you remember? Faster than the sun Flying higher than everyone Like a dream too good to last I won't regret the past Here with me Deep down in my soul now and forever A candle for the dark, I keep you Here with me A story with an unexpected end The morning plane Through empty doors a mountain in the sky A golden chain The autumn treetops cast a knowing light Do you remember? We have no common ground Treasure lost will not be found We can blame our wild at heart From now and from the start Here with me Deep down in my soul now and forever A candle for the dark I need you Here with me A story with an unexpected end Remember feelings I have known And chasing dreams I've never done We're losing let us walk away Hold me in your arms before you go Here with me Deep down in my soul now and forever You are a candle for the dark I need you Here with me A story with an unexpected end Deep down in my soul you will be Here with me A story with an unexpected end Everywhere I go you're here with me. Plaid (Bill Champlin, Robert Lamm) Some will say it's too late So don't change your story There's too much at stake to grow Yesterday was so great Just bask in the glory Don't let your feelings show And I say "Oh Yeah" like a man with condition I wait for my heart to stop Stay down Got a plan hold that position You can't afford a flop Pack my suitcase With my game face Take the same place And put away the dreams I had Let my hair grow Find some old clothes Let the world know That my glory days were plaid I'm not asking for permission Are you ready for me to be me Just pass the ammunition This prisoner's about to bust free from chains For so long you told me to keep it familiar Just play what they all would find I can wear this blindfold, stick to your story But I gotta ask myself why And the play goes on For so many seasons 'Til I'm sure I'm losing my mind And I say, Oh no Gotta have a much better reason To leave all my dreams behind Strangers Rearrange it Stay the same fate And become your favorite fad With the see-through I gotta be true I can't be you While "Yes" still comes in plaid I'm not asking for permission Are you ready for me to be me Lord, pass some ammunition This prisoner's about to bust free from your chains I'm more than just excited Like a hundred pounds of monkey on my back I've got to find myself out Now everybody's divided We'll ride this train 'til we run clean out of track Clean out of track In the see-through I gotta be true I can't be you While "Yes" still comes in plaid I'm not asking for permission Are you ready for me to be me Well pass some ammunition This prisoner's about to bust free from chains I'm more than just excited Like a hundred pounds of monkey on my back I've got to find myself out Now everyone's invited To ride this train 'til we run it clean out of track I'm not asking for permission Are you ready for me to be me Just pass some ammunition This prisoner's about to bust free from those chains (fade) Cry For The Lost (Bill Champlin, Dennis Matkosky) Something I forgot that I used to know Keeps on coming back around Somewhere in the dark right before the dawn Like a light from down the hall Suddenly some old familiar music Songs I know I've never heard before I gotta play along I can't refuse it I hear the call We've all been so proud of our blindness No kindness to share I used to cry for the lost Until I had to turn away Then I looked inside, past the fool And found some deeper words to say To bring us together We can make it better We can make it right We hide behind the veil of our own success While we're following the rules Our eyes refuse to see past our little hands To the never changing truth Freedom needs to speak a little louder Justice needs to try her other arm Some of us could push a little harder To sound the alarm And I see children marching And I hear the drums again I used to cry for the lost Until I had to turn away Then I looked inside, past the fool And found some deeper words to say If we hope and pray It will come, give it half a chance Everyone, understand In our hearts and our mind You know there's nothing left to hide We're already there I used to cry I used to cry for the lost I was walking away I used to try to find a reason Then I looked inside I used to mind everytime I was walking away I gotta find what I'm feeling To bring us together I used to cry for the lost Until I had to turn away Then I looked inside, past the fool And found some deeper words to say To bring us together Cry (I used to cry for the lost I was walking away) Until I had to turn away (I used to try to find a reason) Then I looked inside, past the fool (I used to mind everytime I was walking away) Found some deeper words to say (fade) Get On This (James Pankow, Dawayne Bailey) In the middle of a dream Thought I saw the sacred love supreme So beautiful yet so obscene But I'm not sure I'm sleeping And in a golden sun I saw Hitler, Elvis and angels A little baby with a big gun I saw Jesus kissing the devil Gonna take some time for me to Get on this, get on this Gonna take an angel's kiss to Get on this, get on this When I go to sleep tonight I must remember to close my eyes Saw a mother take a needle Burn in water drown in flame A soft spot for a hard habit She had a baby that no name They say a day will come When a bright light shines all around you A perfect Disney millineum Where only happiness will surround you Gonna take some time for me to Get on this, get on this Gonna take an angel's kiss to Get on this, get on this When I go to sleep tonight I must remember to close my eyes Sins of hypocrisy Will turn the world upside down Lies in the hearts of children Destroy their world without a sound Without a sound And in a full moon sun I saw a king turn angels to ashes Beside a bonfire in Babylon Stands an empty house full of cages Gonna take some time for me to Get on this, get on this Gonna take an angel's kiss to Get on this, get on this When I go to sleep tonight I must remember to close my eyes Gonna take some time for me to Get on this, get on this Gonna take an angel's kiss to Get on this, get on this When I go to sleep tonight I must remember to close my eyes The Show Must Go On (Bill Champlin, Greg Mathieson) I've been trapped in the madness From the shadows of sadness I laugh it away I've been blind to the passion While the whole world is flashing I stash it away While I'm singing of Freedom I'm trying to sell What I never had Hoping I'll be released from my own kind of hell 'Cause I lost the key to my past The show must go on It seems like there's something I'm leaving behind The show must go on 'Cause the dreams that I'm having I'm having all the time The show must go on There will be no confessions 'Cause I'd only be guessing just where to begin There's only one thing I'm knowing this feeling ain't blowing Away with the wind And I'm tired of turning my back on myself Throwing truth away Let the fire burn down the front door to myself And give me a season of play The show must go on I just keep pretending to live for the game The show must go on I just keep on bending the rules to fit the pain It's time for collecting What I've been neglecting It's gonna be a little strange Cause one day I'll be gone And I'll be back in town Nothing's gonna, nothing's gonna Be the same The show must go on And I just keep pretending to live for your game The show must go on I just keep on bending the rules to fit the pain And I put on the face Win every race We're so many strong can't you see And I keep up the pace I won't leave a trace Of yearnin' for some room to breathe Still going on, still going on Still on...
