You can't be still
You're such a nervous fellow
Like a yo yo
Up and down
You take this little pill
And life will be so mellow
You'll feel the world
Start slowing down around
Who's that rushing out the door?
Who's not taking any more?
Who's been down this road before
Without you?
You tell me who's number one?
Who's not here?
Who's having fun?
Who's the one who cares so much
About you?
You won't feel the pain
You won't mind the rain
You can be happy all the time
All the time
One dose twice a day
The world will go away
You'll be smiling through
The worst of times
Who's that rushing out the door?
Who's not taking any more?
Who's been down this road before
Without you?
You tell me who's number one?
Who's not here?
Who's having fun?
Who's the one
Who knows so much about you?
I believe, I believe
(Love's on your mind)
There's something more
I believe it's just beyond the door
(Come inside)
I believe there's something
Better out there
Wanna leave this world
So far behind
I can see your face there
In my mind
I believe there's something
Better somewhere
Who's that rushing?
Who's not taking?
Who's been down this?
You tell me who's
Who's not here?
Who's, Who's the one? Who?
Who's that rushing out the door?
Who's not taking any more?
Who's been down this road before
Without you?
I believe, I believe
(Love's on your mind)
There's something more
I believe it's just beyond the door
(Come inside)
I believe there's something
Better out there
Wanna leave this world
So far behind
I can see your face there
In my mind
I believe there's something
Better somewhere
Something better
(Something better, something better)
Something better
(Something better, something better)

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.)
