The Body Electric
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...
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...
