Toto was formed in Los Angeles in 1977 by David Paich, Steve Lukather, the son of hollywood Assistant Director Bill Lukather, Bobby Kimball, brothers Steve and Jeff Porcaro, and David Hungate, the son of former United States Congressman and United States District Court Judge William L. Hungate. The bandmembers had met in high school and at studio sessions in the 1970s, when they became some of the busiest session musicians in the music business. Composed entirely of seasoned studio musicians, Toto seemed to come out of nowhere. They did not get known first on the club circuit as nearly all bands do prior to being signed by a label.

Toto

There was a man
He walked around
Searching for the girl who had just caught his eye
I was a fool! he cried
His mind had wandered
He blinked and the sky moved eer so slightly
He searched the city and she was nowhere to be found
Meanwhile she was floating downward, downward
Chorus:
Do you want your freedom
Do you want my love
Do you want your freedom
From the one youre thinking of
There lies a lady
Naked and yet not knowing
A spell, it goains her heart forever
Preyed upon by the wolves in time square
Fell into an abyss of dead air
Innocence caged in sanctuary
There sat the dragon lord
Playing solitairy
Defying the rules the holy boys leap hells kitchen
Chorus:
Do you want your freedom
Do you want my love
Do you want your freedom
From the man who lives above
Suddenly a voice was heard
Ina a flash the brave young man appeared
The dragon will cut him with his tail
Chased him to the stairway
Caught him halfway to the top
Sent him whirling down
Fireball, summer solstice
Dragon lord descended down on him
She turned to look but saw only darkness, silence
Chorus:
You dont want your freedom
You dont want my love
You dont want your throat cut
By the same Im thinking of
