Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart To live between a rock And a hard place In between time — Cruising in prime time — Soaking up the cathode rays To live between the wars In our time — Living in real time — Holding the good time — Holding on to yesterdays… You know how that rabbit feels Going under your speeding wheels Bright images flashing by Like windshields towards a fly Frozen in the fatal climb — But the wheels of time — Just pass you by… Wheels can take you around Wheels can cut you down We can go from boom to bust From dreams to a bowl of …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart i see red it hurts my head guess it must be something that i read it’s the colour of your heartbeat a rising summer sun the battle lost — or won  the flash to fashion and the pulse to passion — feels red inside my head and truth is often bitter — left unsaid said red red thinking about the overhead — the underfed — couldn’t we talk about something else instead? we’ve got mars on the horizon says the national midnight star (it’s true) what you believe is what you are  a pair of dancing shoes — the soviets are the blues — the …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart A world of difference A world so out of touch Overwhelmed by everything But wanting more so much — Call it blind frustration Call it blind man’s bluff Call each other names — Your voices rude — your voices rough Then you learn the lesson That it’s cool to be so tough Handle with kid gloves Handle with kid gloves Then you learn the lessons Taught in school won’t be enough Put on your kid gloves Put on your kid gloves Then you learn the lesson That it’s cool to be so tough A world of indifference Heads and hearts too full Careless of the …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart One humanoid escapee One android on the run Seeking freedom beneath A lonely desert sun Trying to change its program Trying to change the mode — Crack the code Images conflicting Into data overload 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 S.O.S. 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 In distress 1-0-0-1-0-0 Memory banks unloading Bytes break into bits Unit one’s in trouble And it’s scared out of its wits Guidance systems break down A struggle to exist — To resist A pulse of dying power In a clenching plastic fist… It replays each of the days A hundred years of routines Bows its head and prays To the mother of all machines…

(Part I of Fear) Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart Things crawl in the darkness That imagination spins Needles at your nerve ends Crawl like spiders on your skin Pounding in your temples And a surge of adrenaline Every muscle tense — To fence The enemy within I’m not giving in To security under pressure I’m not missing out On the promise of adventure I’m not giving up on implausible dreams — Experience to extremes — Experience to extremes Suspicious-looking stranger Flashes you a dangerous grin Shadows across your window — Was it only trees in the wind? Every breath a static charge — A tongue that tastes like tin Steely-eyed …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart All that we can do is just survive All that we can do to help ourselves Is stay alive… Ragged lines of ragged grey Skeletons, they shuffle away Shouting guards and smoking guns Will cut down the unlucky ones I clutch the wire fence Until my fingers bleed A wound that will not heal — A heart that cannot feel — Hoping that the horror will recede Hoping that tomorrow — We’ll all be freed Sickness to insanity Prayer to profanity Days and weeks and months go by Don’t feel the hunger — too weak to cry I hear the sound of gunfire At the …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart Suddenly — You were gone From all the lives You left your mark upon I remember — How we talked and drank Into the misty dawn — I hear the voices We ran by the water On the wet summer lawn — I see the foot prints I remember — — I feel the way you would — I feel the way you would Tried to believe But you know it’s no good This is something That just can’t be understood I remember — The shouts of joy Skiing fast through the woods — I hear the echoes I learned your love for life I …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart An ill wind comes arising Across the cities of the plain There’s no swimming in the heavy water — No singing in the acid rain Red alert Red alert It’s so hard to stay together Passing through revolving doors We need someone to talk to And someone to sweep the floors — Incomplete Incomplete The world weighs on my shoulders But what am I to do? You sometimes drive me crazy — But I worry about you I know it makes on difference To what you’re going through But I see the tip of the iceberg — And I worry about you… Cruising under your …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart So many things I think about When I look far away Things I know — things I wonder Things I’d like to say The more we think we know about The greater the unknown We suspend our disbelief And we are not alone — Mystic rhythms — capture my thoughts And carry them away Mysteries of night Escape the light of day Mystic rhythms — under northern lights Or the African sun Primitive things stir The hearts of everyone We sometimes catch a window A glimpse of what’s beyond Was it just imagination Stringing us along? More things than are dreamed about Unseen and unexplained …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart When we lift the covers from our feelings We expose our insecure spots Trust is just as rare as devotion — Forgive us our cynical thoughts If we need too much attention — Not content with being cool We must throw ourselves wide open And start acting like a fool If we need too much approval Then the cuts can seem too cruel Right to the heart of the matter Right to the beautiful part Illusions are painfully shattered Right where discovery starts In the secret wells of emotion Buried deep in our hearts It’s true that love can change us But never quite enough …
