Let's go
Ooh, oh yea, ooh
I don't know where I found you
I don't know where you been
All I know you got me
In the shape I'm in
You're the message in the bottle
You're the deluxe model
I haven't been so affected
Since I don't know when

Whoa yea
You're the best new face
In the human race
I said
Yea, whoa yea
You're the best new face
In the human race
You look so real
When you ask me to feel
Yea, you're so damn convincing
Digging in your heels
If your persuasion attack
Leaves me flat on my back
You can ride me off to ruin
While the whole world cracks

And look who appears
He's crankin' up the level
(Ooh, ooh)
In between your ears
But he's so frustrated
(Aaa, aaa)
'Cause he can't get a rise
Out of someone who's reflecting
(Aaa, aaa)
Heaven in their eyes

You look so good
Wow, oh

Styx is a rock band from Chicago formed in 1970. They enjoyed great success with pop rock and hard rock songs, and became famous for their power ballads and album releases of the mid 1970s and early 80s.

The band has gone through some famously nasty internal struggles, drug problems, illnesses and deaths, but continues to perform today (with a significantly altered line-up). Tommy Shaw, from Montgomery, AL, left but returned to the band. Drummer John Panozzo developed a debilitating drinking problem and ultimately died. Dennis DeYoung developed an acute case of photosensitivity, and he left the band. They fought among themselves for control of the band name. Glen Burtnik also left and returned, this time on bass, to replace Chuck Panozzo (John’s brother), who had also left the band. (whew.)
