[Verse 1]
Here I'm running with the elephants
Gathering the evidence of my life
Here I'm thinking I'm a rarity
Craving popularity
Just slow down

[Verse 2]
Love me, love me like you know me well
Believe the stories I can tell about me
Help me, help me build my monument
The worry will, nobody will
Trust me

[Chorus]
Reverie
Is that the very core of me
Revеrie
I'm giving it up, giving it out
Reveriе
Is that the very heart of me
Reverie
I'm giving it up, giving it out everyday

[Verse 3]
Here I'm running with the elephants
Fighting all the elements in this crowd
Crashing into window panes
Lord I hope it rains before we spiral

[Chorus]
Reverie
Is that the very core of me
Reverie
I'm giving it up, giving it out
Reverie
Is that the very heart of me
Reverie
I'm giving it up, giving it out
Giving it up, giving it out
Giving it up, giving it out
Giving it up, giving it out

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.)
