Vital Signs
Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson / Lyrics: Neil Peart
Unstable condition:
A symptom of life,
In mental,
And environmental change
Atmospheric disturbance -
The feverish flux,
Of human interface
And interchange
The impulse is pure -
Sometimes our circuits get shorted,
By external interference
Signals get crossed -
And the balance distorted
By internal incoherence
A tired mind become a shape-shifter
Everybody need a mood lifter
Everybody need reverse polarity
Everybody got mixed feelings
About the function and the form.
Everybody got to deviate
From the norm
An ounce of perception -
A pound of obscure
Process information
At half speed
Pause:
Rewind - replay -
Warm memory chip
Random-sample -
Hold the one you need
Leave out the fiction
The fact is;
This friction
Will only be worn by persistence
Leave out conditions
Courageous convictions
Will drag the dream into existence
A tired mind become a shape-shifter
Everybody need a soft filter
Everybody need reverse polarity
Everybody got mixed feelings
About the function and the form
Everybody got to elevate
From the norm...
In The Mood
Music and Lyrics: Geddy Lee
Hey now, baby,
well, I like your smile.
Won't you come and talk to me.
for a little while.
Well, you're makin' me crazy,
the way you roll them eyes.
Won't you come and sit with me.
I'll tell you all my lies.
Hey baby, it's a quarter to eight.
I feel I'm in the mood.
Hey baby, the hour is late.
I feel I've got to move.
Well, hey now, baby,
Don't you talk so fast.
I'm just try'n' to make these good times,
I'm try'n' to make it last.
Ev'rything's getting hazy.
Now honey, where'd you go?
I just want to find out, baby,
where'd you learn what you know?
Hey baby, it's a quarter to eight.
I feel I'm in the mood.
Hey baby, the hour is late.
I feel I've got to move.
Well, hey now, baby,
said, I like your style.
You really got me, baby,
way down deep inside.
Oo, you drive me crazy.
Baby, you're the one.
I just want to rock-and-roll you woman,
until the night is gone.
Hey baby, it's a quarter to eight.
I feel I'm in the mood.
Hey baby, the hour is late.
I feel I've got to move.
