ROCKIN' THE PARADISE-STYX

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....

So whatcha doin' tonight?
Have you heard that the world's gone crazy?
Young americans listen when I say there's people puttin' us down
I know they're sayin' that we've gone lazy
To tell you the truth we've all seen better days
Don't need no fast buck lame duck profits for fun
Quick trick plans, take the money and run
We need long term, slow burn, getting it done
And some straight talking, hard working son of a gun.
Whatcha doin' tonight, I got faith in our generation
Let's stick together and futurize our attitudes
I ain't lookin' to fight, but I know with determination
We can challenge the schemers who cheat all the rules

Come on take pride, be wise, spottin' the fools
No more big shots, crackpots bending the rules
A fair shot here for me and for you
Knowing that we can't lose

And we'll be rockin' in paradise
Rockin' the paradise tonight
Rockin' in paradise
Rockin' the paradise tonight
Tonight, tonight...

@taggartjs It was the summer of 1996, John had passed away months before and this was the closing night of the tour in October I believe.

Return to Paradise was the live album/VHS and later DVD.

Ok, what year was this? That looks like Todd Sucherman playing drums. I thought it was like 1981. But if it's Todd playing drums, it has to be after 1996. My bad! LOL

Saw this tour in Bismarck back in the day. 1981, I believe?
