[Verse 1]
You know me, just look in my eyes
I shed my skin, got a new disguise
My heart still beats and I'm still the same
Do you know my name
It's everything you've ever seen
It's every dream you've broken
It's only when you keep your eyes wide open

[Chorus 1]
Like a circle of light spinning out of control
And I just can't let go

[Chorus 2]
Day after day there's a voice deep inside me
Day after day there's the ghost of a lie
Every belief that has come back to find me
Day after day and it follows me blindly
Day after day

[Verse 2]
I feel you, you're under my skin
You look in the mirror, you know where I've been
My heart still beats but it's not the same
Don't you know my name
I'm always there to keep your eyes wide open

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Bridge]
Day after day

[Chorus 2]

Def Leppard

In 1977, Rick Savage, Tony Kenning, and Pete Willis were students at a secondary school in Sheffield, England. They had a band called Atomic Mass. Lead singer Joe Elliott joined later that year, and suggested a new band name. Within 10 years, that name, Def Leppard, became one of the most recognised in English rock music. To date, they have released more than 40 singles.

Def Leppard was a definitive part of the new wave of British heavy metal bands in the late 1970s. Their first three albums had tremendous momentum, each outselling the one before. Then, after the release of Pyromania in 1983, drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident. The band stuck by him through his recovery and retraining.

When Def Leppard came back, they came back hard. Their fourth album, 1987’s Hysteria, was a hard rock masterpiece that took the world by storm. By then the music video had matured as a film style, and Hysteria’s singles and videos had enough pop, sex, colour, and glam to put it over the top. Hysteria was one of the biggest-selling albums of the 1980s.
