This recording of “Crystal Ball” is the first one to include the “lost verse,” which Tommy Shaw originally wrote as part of the song when it was written at his mother’s house in the summer of 1975. This final verse was not included in the studio release of the Styx song or in any subsequent performa...
[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
So many things I need to know
Ball
So many things I gotta know
Ball
Won't you tell me please before I go
Ball
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me, tell me where I'm going
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 just gotta know
[Chorus]
Crystal ball
There's so many things I need to know
Ball
There's so many things I've gotta know
Ball
Well, won't you tell me please before I go
Crystal ball
[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
Well, won't you tell me please before I go
Crystal ball
[Outro]
If you should see me walking through your dreams tonight
Would you please direct me where I ought to be
I've been looking for a crystal ball to shed a light
To find a future in me
To find a future in me
