{Intro}

[Verse 1]
When I think of Lorelei, my head turns all around
As gentle as a butterfly, she moves without a sound
I call her on the telephone, she says be there by eight
Tonight's the night she's movin' in and I can hardly wait

[Pre-Chorus]
The way she moves, ooh-ooh-ooh, I gotta say

[Chorus]
Lorelei, let's live together
Brighter than the stars, forever
Lorelei, let's live together
Brighter than the stars, forever
Oh baby, forever

{Bridge}

[Verse 2]
Her eyes become a paradise, she softly speaks my name
She brightens every lonely night, no one's quite the same
She calls me on the telephone, she says be there by eight
Tonight's the night she's movin' in, it's time to celebrate

[Pre-Chorus]
The way she moves, ooh-ooh-ooh, I gotta say

[Chorus]
Lorelei, let's live together
Brighter than the stars, forever
Lorelei, let's live together
Brighter than the stars, forever
Baby, baby, forever

[Chorus]
Lorelei, let's live together
(Lorelei, let's live together)
Brighter than the stars, forever
(Brighter than the stars, forever)
Lorelei, let's live together
(Lorelei, let's live together)
Brighter than the stars, forever
(Brighter than the stars, forever)
Lorelei, let's live together
(Lorelei, let's live together)
Brighter than the stars, forever
(Brighter than the stars, forever)
Lorelei, let's live together
(Lorelei, let's live together)
Brighter than the stars, forever
(Brighter than the stars, forever)
Lorelei, let's live together
(Lorelei, let's live together)

{Outro}

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.)
