A.D. 1928 Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Tonight's the night we'll make history, as sure as dogs can fly And I'll take any risk to tie back the hands of time And stay with you here all night So take your seats and don't be late, we need your spirits high To turn on these theatre lights and brighten the darkest skies Here at the Paradise....  

Too Much Time On My Hands Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Sitting on this barstool talking like a damn fool Got the twelve o'clock news blues And I've given up hope on the afternoon soaps And a bottle of cold brew Is it any wonder I'm not crazy? Is it any wonder I'm sane at all Well I'm so tired of losing- I got nothing to do and all day to do it I go out cruisin' but I've no place to go and all night to get there Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal? Is it any wonder I'm not in jail? Is it any wonder I've got Too much time on my hands, it's ticking away with my sanity I've got too much time on my hands, it's hard to believe such a calamity I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away from me Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands Too much time on my hands Well, I'm a jet fuel genius - I can solve the world's problems Without even trying I have dozens of friends and the fun neve...

  Nothing Ever Goes As Planned Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Listen on YouTube  What'cha going to do when the sun goes down tonight You'll hit the same old clubs, rap that same old trash That's right You've got them real silk shirts and them baggy pants Dago shoes in the colors that match But the girls are acting bored And you're feeling like you're going to lose You've got the G.Q. Blues You get up every morning and you go to work each day (you go to work, you go to work, you go to work) Been doing the same damn job for ten long years this May (you've got to work, you've got to work, you've got to work) You've been working and saving for your Jamaican dream Paradise is waiting across the sea But when your plane lands Montego turns to Monsoon You've got the Island Blues 'Cause, nothing ever goes as planned It's a hell of a notion Even Pharaohs turn to sand Like a drop in the ocean You're so together a...

The Best of Times Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Tonight's the night we'll make history Honey, you and I 'Cause I'll take any risk to tie back the hands of time And stay with you here tonight I know you feel these are the worst of times I do believe it's true When people lock their doors and hide inside Rumor has it, it's the end of paradise But I know, if the world just passed us by Baby, I know, I wouldn't have to cry, no no The best of times are when I'm alone with you Some rain some shine we'll make this a world for two Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime We'll take the best, forget the rest And someday we'll find These are the best of times These are the best of times The headlines read, "These are the worst of times" I do believe it's true I feel so helpless like a boat against the tide I wish this summer wind could bring back paradise But I know, if the world turned upside down Baby, I ...

  Lonely People Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung "Hey , Hey out there knock it off will ya? Hey give it a rest will ya? I'm tryin' to get some sleep! Want me to call the cops? I tell ya Erma I can't till next week when they start to tear that damn old theatre down." The rain was hot, the streets were empty As downtown closed her eyes The movie house stood in silence as I said my last good-byes Her silver screen was stained with memories As Cagney shot them down And as I watched I was that hero In dreamlands lost and found Oh my God, well we both are empty Paradise and me Do you believe I'm still chasing rainbows When everywhere I see Lonely People, Lonely People Up above these ghetto streets In penthouse suites they sit and stare Lonely People, Lonely People They smile and say they're fine But behind their eyes they just don't care Lonely People They just don't care Lonely People, Lonely People Lonely People, Lonely People Be...

She Cares Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw I tried to be the perfect soldier I tried to be what everyone said was expected Somehow I was selected Well, my hands were steady, my aim was true But deep inside of my heart I knew That I lacked the will I just couldn't shoot to kill And still she treats me like a human She says she'll still be there I may not be a hero, but I'll be there Because I know she cares I worked hard to be the greatest lover I wanted to be sure that I was her only one That's how I thought it was done But I went too far, assumed too much The need to feel a younger one's touch Seemed important then Oh what a fool I've been And still she treats me like a human (like a human) She says she'll still be there (that she'll be there) I don't quite understand it, she's been too fair 'Cause somehow she cares I guess that's the way it goes, the way that it goes And nobody knows what compels her She's seen my hig...

  Snowblind Written by Dennis DeYoung, James Young, and Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by James Young and Tommy Shaw Mirror, mirror on the wall The face you've shown me scares me so I thought that I could call your bluff But now the lines are clear enough Life's not pretty even though I've tried so hard to make it so Mornings are such cold distress How did I ever get into this mess I'm snowblind, can't live without you So fine I just can't get away Now I'm snowblind, snowblind, snowblind Harmless and innocent you devil in white You stole my will without a fight You filled me with confidence, but you blinded my eyes You tricked me with visions of Paradise Now I realize I'm Snowblind, can't live without you So fine I just can't get away Now I'm snowblind, snowblind, snowblind Mirror, mirror I confess I can't escape this emptiness No more reason to pretend Here comes that same old feeling again Snowblind, can't live without you So fine I just ca...
