You can't help but be who you are
Your feet on the ground
Your head in the stars
And I can't help but love who I love
You're still on my mind
In the heavens above
And I've got my

Hands on the wheel of my rocket mobile
And I'm a hundred million miles from home
My head's in the stars on a mission to Mars
And I'm a hundred million miles from home
A hundred million miles from home
And I've got to get a message to you

I can't change the things that I've done
The hearts I might have broken
The races I've won
And now it's all about the road that I'm on
My eyes on the mission
My troubles be gone
'Cause I got my

Hands on the wheel of my rocket mobile
And I'm a hundred million miles from home
My head's in the stars on a mission to Mars
And I'm a hundred million miles from home
A hundred million miles from home
And I've got to get a message to you

Now there's nothing but starlight glowing
And this pain in my heart keeps growing
Sometimes I feel like a fool
Your gravitational pull
Is gonna tear me apart
Hey, hey, yeah

You can't help, but be who you are
Even a hundred million miles from home
I can't remember what I wanted to say
Now I'm a hundred million miles from home

And I got my
Hands on the wheel of my rocket mobile
And I'm a hundred million miles from home
My head's in the stars on a mission to Mars
And I'm a hundred million miles from home
A hundred million miles from home
And I've got to get a message to you
I've got to get a message
I've got to get a message to you
I've got to get a message to you

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.)
