[Verse 1]
There's a crack in the universe
People say that it's getting worse
And there's no place that's safe to hide
Better hope we can hitch a ride

[Verse 2]
There's a sign in the road ahead
Turn back or you'll end up dead
Hey but I don't believe it's true
'Cause it's the road leading back to you

[Chorus]
Pierce my skin, I won't bleed
Close me in, I'll go to seed
Make me ask and I won't need
Everything, all the time

[Verse 3]
There's a face in a photograph
Tryin' hard to suppress a laugh
Crying out to be torn in half
Should I ask for an autograph?

[Chorus]
Pierce my skin, I won't bleed
Close me in, I'll go to seed
Make me ask and I won't need
Everything, all the time
Everything, all the time

[Bridge]
Feed my hunger
Ease my pain
Feed my hunger won't you, oh nah nah nah
Won't you ease my pain, whoa nah nah nah nah

[Chorus]
Pierce my skin, I won't bleed
Close me in, I'll go to seed
Make me ask and I won't need
Everything, all the time
Everything, all the time

[Outro]
Everything, all the time
All the time
All the time
All the time

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.)
