You might be on a distant shore, Don’t know what they’re having planned. You might feel you’re a million miles, In nothing you can be sure. You might feel you don’t have a prayer, When the signal it comes in clear, That you’re not so far, you’re not so far away. You might feel you’re in danger, Hope you don’t fade away.

No, you’re not so far, you’re not so far away. Yeah! Hey! Lay it in those hands, You might not know where you stand. You walk that line, where some might tell ya, This is where it starts and ends? When history repeats itself, They’ll sell you their worn out plan, When you’re not so far, you’re not so far away. No, you’re not so far, you’...

Dark Side: The Contrary Nature Of Man Written by James Young Lead Vocals by James Young When I was just a youngster A child with conscience clean Life's answers seemed so plain to me But when we venture into The world at large it seems That things are different indeed I need to know... Why am I drawn to the dark side? I'm so confused, and I'm wondering why It seems like so much fun bein' bad When they think I'm an innocent lad? They taught me modern manners Taught me to be polite Taught everything they thought I'd need But I've got burning questions Tough choices facing me What's my responsibility? Tell me... What's the attraction of the dark side? The big bucks for those little white lies And bein' good seems as boring as hell I feel the pull of the dark side Lyric opera and parlor games They're much too tame But it is insane? To be drawn to the dark side I'm really bored with the good guys What makes me wanna sin until dawn Even though ...

Out On A Day Pass Written by James Young & Steven A. Jones Lead Vocals by James Young I can't believe the shape I'm in I'm livin' on adrenalin They check me out every now and then To see how I fit in Don't ask me 'bout my mental state I know you think I can't relate I can't adjust, I have this need Habits I've got to feed I'm out, on a day pass I feel like my mind is reaching critical mass You know I'm out, on a day pass I know it's too good to last I'm hoping it's gonna last I stand accused of makin' noise They claim my mind is null and void In my defense, you know Boys will be boys They took away my toys I have these fits I can't control It must be demons in my soul These ups and downs can take a toll Right now I'm on a roll I'm out, on a day pass.... Haircut & a pair of shoes I'll go downtown and spread the news I'm gonna rock 'til I blow a fuse I got no time to lose Don't talk to me ...

Young Man Written by James Young, Rick Young Lead Vocals by James Young People say with age there comes experience But answers seem more distant every day The good news and the bad news come together What politician played this trick you say? Who can we get to win the fight? A young man Who can we get to make love all night? A young man Who do we send away to die? A young man I heard a lonely woman cry for A young man Ideologies mean very little When in practicality they're quite the same If God is love how can Her words be twisted Into holy wars where men will kill and maim Who can we get to win the fight? A young man Who can we get to make love all night? A young man Who do we send away to die? A young man I heard a lonely woman cry for A young man Come home my son, we'll give you a rest Welcome my son, we'll give you the best Time's stowaway, the young man So short are the days, of the young man

The Bigger They Are, The Harder They Fall Written by J.Y. - Steven A. Jones Lead Vocals by James Young You're such a big tough man about town You're gonna lose your crown You're such a big star, in your mind I've seen the other side You're such a polished man of the world You think the swine are after your pearls Climb to the top on the backs of your friends They won't be 'round when your fantasy ends, because The bigger they are, the harder they fall The bigger they are big shot Somewhere down the line you're gonna pay for it all And the tab is more than you've got You're such a big noise out on the street Pound on your chest like the king of the beasts You play the big wheel, you play the boss Wait till you feel the cost of it all The bigger they are, the harder they fall The bigger that final drop When you hit the ground, I'll still be standing tall And I won't be followin' you punk Don't you know that when all is said and done...

No Such Thing Written by Tommy Shaw and Terry Thomas Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw No such thing...no such thing You're waiting for the lightning to strike you from the sky You're waiting for the fireworks on the Fourth Of July But sure as there's a moon in the heavens up above There's no such thing as the perfect love You read Harlequin Romances and True Life Magazines You're the young and you're the restless You relate to every scene I tried to tell you once but I guess it's not enough There's no such thing as the perfect love Baby what you want from me come and take it But never give your heart for free 'cause I'll break it Yeah I'll break it You're still listening for the footsteps You sit there by the phone Staring at your posters aren't you tired of being alone You may think you're trying but it isn't hard enough There's no such thing as the perfect love There's a time and a place for this You gotta be there If you s...

Dangerous Game Written by Tommy Shaw and Terry Thomas Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw You do just what you want to do I see the way they look at you It always comes easy You walk into a crowded room The subtle hint of your perfume It always comes easy You never seem like you're trying Still you get your way You know you're living a lie and Someday you'll pay but Don't play with love It's a dangerous game It'll tear you apart It'll drive you insane You make the choice between pleasure and pain Serious girl It's a dangerous game You never have to try too much You think you've got the magic touch You really believe it You always have to have control You never get emotional Do you really believe it When someone tries to get closer You just turn away You get to say when it's over You say who stays but Don't play with love It's a dangerous game It'll tear you apart It'll drive you insane You make the choice between pleasure and pain Serious g...

The Weight Of The World Written by Tommy Shaw and Terry Thomas Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw You've got the weight of the world On your shoulders tonight But somewhere there's a light It's just the way that you feel In the eyes of the world So much colder tonight It's feeding on your pride It's just the way that you feel Don't go Can't you see I'm on your side Baby don't go Don't go, don't go, don't go If the weight of the world Is too much for you now You've got to turn it round somehow Change the way that you feel If you wait for the world To give you what you need It's gonna bring you to your knees again So baby don't go Don't you know I'm on your side Don't let yourself go Don't go, don't go, don't go There has to be another way No don't go You've got to turn around and stay The weight of the world On your shoulders tonight But somewhere there's a light It's just the way that you feel In...
