[Verse 1]
Time after time
I sit and I wait for your call
I know I'm a fool, but what can I say?
Whatever the price, I'll pay
For you, Madame Blue

[Verse 2]
Once, long ago
A word from your lips and the world turned around
But somehow you've changed, you're so far away
I long for the past and dream of the days
With you, Madame Blue

[Chorus 1]
Suite Madame Blue
Gaze at your looking glass
You're not a child anymore
Suite Madame Blue
The future is all but past

So dressed in your jewels
You made your own rules
You conquered the world, and more
Heaven's door

Ohhhhhh
Ahhhhhh

[Bridge]
America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America

[Chorus 2]
Red, white, and blue
Gaze in your looking glass
You're not a child anymore
Red, white, and blue
The future is all but past

So lift up your heart
And make a new start
And lead us away from here

Styx

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.)
