You are sick and all alone
I Slowly reach for the telephone
'We're gonna tour without you'
And eventually there will be a coup

It's not always honesty
That is the best policy
So we'll ignore and you'll go away
And we'll never have to say that we have been

Leading a double life
Friends on the stage but plotting at night
Leading a double life
It can't be wrong because it feels so right.

And as we tour 'Styx' will bring the fans that
Think you are well and still with the band
Nobody knows, few people have seen
They really don't know where you've been
And that we've been

Leading a double life
Friends on the stage but plotting at night
Leading a double life
It can't be wrong because it feels so right.

We'll take your band, though we know you'll cry
Tommy will love it, and so will I
Double life, a double life, a masquerade
We've been living in a masquerade
Styx is our band now

Leading a double life
Friends on the stage but plotting at night
Leading a double life
It can't be wrong because it feels so right.
