Distant Early Warning
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 radar
Watching from satellites
Take a page from the red book --
Keep them in your sights
Red alert
Red alert
Left and rights of passage
Black and whites of youth
Who can face the knowledge
That the truth is not the truth?
Obsolete
Absolute
Absalom
Absalom
Between the Wheels
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 dust
We can fall from rockets' red glare
Down to "Brother can you spare --"
Another war -- another waste land --
And another lost generation...
It slips between your hands
Like water
This living in real time
A dizzying lifetime
Reeling by on celluloid
Struck between the eyes
By the big-time world
Walking uneasy streets --
Hiding beneath the sheets --
Got to try and fill the void...
