Crystal Ball [Regeneration I and II]Styx

Released: October 4, 2011

Songwriter: Tommy Shaw

Producer: Gary Loizzo Styx

[Verse 1]
I used to like to walk the straight and narrow line
I used to think that everything was fine
Sometimes I'd sit and gaze for days
Through sleepless dreams
All alone and trapped in time
All alone and trapped in time

[Verse 2]
I wonder what tomorrow has in mind for me
Or am I even in it's mind at all
Perhaps, I'll get a chance
To look ahead and see
Soon as I find myself a crystal ball
Soon as I find myself a crystal ball

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, tell me, tell me where I'm going
I don't know where I've been
Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me
And then tell me again
My heart is breaking, my body's aching
And I don't know where to go
So tell me, tell me, won't you tell me
I've just gotta know

[Chorus]
Crystal ball
There's so many things I need to know
Crystal ball
There's so many things I've gotta know
Crystal ball
Won't you tell me please before I go
Crystal ball

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, tell me, tell me where I'm going
I don't know where I've been
Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me
And then tell me again
My heart is breaking, my body's aching
And I don't know where to go
So tell me, tell me, won't you tell me
I've just gotta know

[Chorus]
Crystal ball
Oh, there's so many things I need to know
Crystal ball
There's so many things I've gotta know
Crystal ball
Won't you tell me please before I go
Crystal ball

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.)
