People grow taller, the planet gets smaller each day
Endless opinions, too many with so much to say

Here's to the know-it-alls who have all the answers
Here's to the amateurs missing their cues
Here's to the land that served our ancestors
Cheers to the ones with their own points of view

Welcome my friends
The fun never ends
A Monster chasing its tail

Where do we belong?
Where do we call home?
We'll find the peace from within
We are not alone

Kings in their castles look down
At the people below
They're so disconnected
How will he ever know?

Here's to the prisoners trapped in their cages
Led to believe there's everything to lose
Still they hold the keys the to their future
Everything changes when you get to choose

Welcome my friends
The fun never ends
A Monster chasing its tail

What goes around will come around
A Monster chasing its...

A Monster chasing its tail...

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.)
