Album Lyrics:

Animate.

(N. Peart/G. Lee, A, Lifeson)

POLARIZE ME 

SENSITIZE ME 

CRITICIZE ME 

CIVILIZE ME 

COMPENSATE ME 

ANIMATE ME 

COMPLICATE ME 

ELEVATE ME 

Goddess in my garden 

Sister in my soul 

Angel in my armor 

Actress in my role 

Daughter of a demon-lover 

Empress of the hidden face 

Priestess of the pagan mother 

Ancient queen of inner space 

Spirit in my psyche 

Double in my role 

Alter in my image 

Struggle for control 

Mistress of the dark unconscious 

Mermaid of the lunar sea 

Daughter of the great enchantress 

Sister to the boy inside of me 

My counterpart -- my foolish heart 

A man must learn to rule his tender part 

A warming trend -- a gentle friend 

A man must build a fortress to defend 

A secret face -- a touch of grace 

A man must learn to give a little space 

A peaceful state -- a submissive trait 

A man must learn to gently dominate.

Stick it Out.

(N. Peart/G. Lee, A, Lifeson)

Trust to your instincts 

If it's safely restrained 

Lightning reactions 

Must be carefully trained 

Heat of the moment 

Curse of the young 

Spit out your anger 

Don't swallow your tongue 

STICK IT OUT 

Don't swallow the poison 

SPIT IT OUT 

Don't swallow your pride 

STICK IT OUT 

Don't swallow your anger 

SPIT IT OUT 

Don't swallow the lies 

Natural reflex 

Pendulum swing 

You might be too dizzy 

To do the right thing 

Trial under fire 

Ultimate proof 

Moment of crisis 

Don't swallow the truth 

STICK IT OUT 

Each time we bathe our reactions 

In artificial light 

Each time we alter the focus 

To make the wrong moves seem right 

You get so used to deception 

You make yourself a nervous wreck 

You get so used to surrender 

Running back to cover your neck 

STICK IT OUT.

Cut to the Chase.

(N. Peart/G. Lee, A, Lifeson)

It is the fire that lights itself 

But it burns with a restless flame 

The arrow on a moving target 

The archer must be sure of his aim 

It is the engine that drives itself 

But it chooses the uphill climb 

A bearing on magnetic north 

Growing farther away all the time 

Can't stop -- moving 

Can't stop -- moving 

Can't stop -- 

YOU MAY BE RIGHT 

IT'S ALL A WASTE OF TIME 

I GUESS THAT'S JUST A CHANCE 

I'M PREPARED TO TAKE 

A DANGER I'M PREPARED TO FACE 

CUT TO THE CHASE 

It is the rocket that ignites itself 

And launches its way to the stars 

A driver on a busy freeway 

Racing the oblivious cars 

It's the motor of the western world 

Spinning off to every extreme 

Pure as a lover's desire 

Evil as a murderer's dream 

Young enough not to care too much 

About the way things used to be 

I'm young enough to remember the future -- 

The past has no claim on me 

I'm old enough not to care too much 

About what you think of me 

But I'm young enough to remember the future 

And the way things ought to be 

WHAT KIND OF DIFFERENCE 

CAN ONE PERSON MAKE? 

CUT TO THE CHASE.

Nobody's Hero.

(N. Peart/G. Lee, A, Lifeson)

I knew he was different, in his sexuality 

I went to his parties, as a straight minority 

It never seemed a threat to my masculinity 

He only introduced me to a wider reality 

As the years went by, we drifted apart 

When I heard that he was gone 

I felt a shadow cross my heart 

But he's nobody's -- 

Hero -- saves a drowning child 

Cures a wasting disease 

Hero -- lands the crippled airplane 

Solves great mysteries 

Hero -- not the handsome actor 

Who plays a hero's role 

Hero -- not the glamor girl 

Who'd love to sell her soul 

If anybody's buying 

NOBODY'S HERO 

I didn't know the girl, but I knew her family 

All their lives were shattered 

in a nightmare of brutality 

They try to carry on, try to bear the agony 

Try to hold some faith 

in the goodness of humanity 

As the years went by, we drifted apart 

When I heard that she was gone 

I felt a shadow cross my heart 

But she's nobody's -- 

Hero -- the voice of reason 

Against the howling mob 

Hero -- the pride of purpose 

In the unrewarding job 

Hero -- not the champion player 

Who plays the perfect game 

Not the glamor boy 

Who loves to sell his name 

Everybody's buying 

NOBODY'S HERO 

As the years went by, we drifted apart 

When I heard that you were gone 

I felt a shadow cross my heart 

Hero.

Between Sun and Moon.

(N. Peart, Pye Dubois /G. Lee, A, Lifeson)

There is a lake between sun and moon 

Not too many know about 

In the silence between whisper and shout 

The space between wonder and doubt 

This is a fine place 

Shining face to face 

Those bonfire lights in the mirror of sky 

The space between wonder and why 

ahh yes to yes to ahh ahh to yes 

why the sun why the sun 

There is a fine line between love and illusion -- 

A fine place to penetrate 

The gap between actor and act 

The lens between wishes and fact 

This is a fine place 

To hesitate 

Those bonfire lights in the lake of sky 

The time between wonder and why 

Some need to pray to the sun at high noon 

Some need to howl at the midwinter moon 

Reborn and baptized in a moment of grace 

We just need a break -- 

From the headlong race 

ahh yes to yes to ahh ahh to yes 

why the sun why the sun.

Alien Shore.

(N. Peart/G. Lee, A, Lifeson)

You and I, we are strangers by one chromosome 

Slave to the hormone, body and soul 

In a struggle to be happy and free 

Swimming in a primitive sea 

You and I, we must dive below the surface 

A world of red neon, and ultramarine 

Shining bridges on the ocean floor 

Reaching to the alien shore 

For you and me -- Sex is not a competition 

For you and me -- Sex is not a job description 

For you and me -- We agree 

You and I, we are pressed into these solitudes 

Color and culture, language and race 

Just variations on a theme 

Islands in a much larger stream 

For you and me -- Race is not a competition 

For you and me -- Race is not a definition 

For you and me -- We agree 

Reaching for the alien shore 

You and I, we reject these narrow attitudes 

We add to each other, like a coral reef 

Building bridges on the ocean floor 

Reaching for the alien shore 

For you and me -- We hold these truths to be self-evident 

For you and me -- We'd elect each other president 

For you and me -- We might agree 

But that's just us 

Reaching for the alien shore.

Speed of Love.

(N. Peart/G. Lee, A, Lifeson)

Love is born with lightning bolts 

Electro-magnetic force 

Burning skin and fireworks 

A storm on a raging course 

Like a force of nature, 

Love can fade with the stars at dawn 

Sometimes it takes all your strength 

Just to keep holding on 

At the speed of love 

A radiance that travels 

At the speed of love 

My heart goes out to you 

Love is born with solar flares 

From two magnetic poles 

It moves towards a higher plane 

Where two halves make two wholes 

Like a force of nature, 

Love shines in many forms 

One night we are bathed in light 

One day carried away in the storms 

At the speed of love 

Nothing changes faster 

Than the speed of love 

My heart goes out to you 

We don't have to talk 

We don't even have to touch 

I can feel your prescence 

In the silence that we share 

Got to keep moving 

At the speed of love 

Nothing changes faster 

Than the speed of love 

Got to keep on shining 

At the speed of love 

Nothing changes faster 

Than the speed of love 

My heart goes out to you.

Double Agent.

(N. Peart/G. Lee, A, Lifeson)

Where would you rather be? 

Anywhere but here 

When will the time be right? 

Anytime but now 

On the edge of sleep, 

I was drifting for half the night 

Anxious and restless, 

pressed down by the darkness 

Bound up and wound up so tight 

So many decisions, a million revisions 

Caught between darkness and light... 

Wilderness of mirrors 

World of polished steel 

Gears and iron chains 

Turn the grinding wheel 

I run between the shadows 

Some are phantoms, some are real 

Where would you rather be? 

Anywhere but here 

When will the time be right? 

Anytime but now 

The doubt and the fear 

I know would all disappear 

Anywhere but here 

On the edge of sleep, 

I heard voices behind the door 

The known and the nameless, 

familiar and faceless 

My angels and my demons at war 

Which one will lose -- depends on what I choose 

Or maybe which voice I ignore... 

Wilderness of mirrors 

Streets of cold desire 

My precious sense of honor 

Just a shield of rusty wire 

I hold against the chaos -- 

And the cross of holy fire 

Wilderness of mirrors 

So easy to deceive 

My precious sense of rightness 

Is sometimes so naive 

So that which I imagine 

Is that which I believe 

On the edge of sleep, I awoke to a sun so bright 

Rested and fearless, cheered by your nearness 

I knew which direction was right 

The case had been tried by the jury inside 

The choice between darkness and light...

Leave That Thing Alone.

(G. Lee, A, Lifeson)

Instrumental

Cold Fire.

(N. Peart/G. Lee, A, Lifeson)

It was long after midnight 

When we got to unconditional love 

She said sure, my heart is boundless 

But don't push my limits too far 

I said if love was so transcendant 

I don't understand these boundaries 

She said just don't disappoint me -- 

You know how complex women are 

I'll be around 

If you don't let me down 

Too far 

It was just before sunrise 

When we started on traditional roles 

She said sure I'll be your partner 

But don't make too many demands 

I said if love has these conditions 

I don't understand those songs you love 

She said this is not a love song 

This isn't fantasy-land 

I'll be around 

If you don't push me down 

Too far 

DON'T GO TOO FAR -- 

The phosphorescent wave on a tropical sea 

Is a cold fire 

DON'T CROSS THE LINE -- 

The pattern of moonlight on the bedroom floor 

Is a cold fire 

DON'T LET ME DOWN -- 

The flame at the heart of a pawnbroker's diamond 

Is a cold fire 

DON'T BREAK THE SPELL -- 

The look in your eyes as you head for the door 

Is a cold fire 

Love is blind if you are gentle 

Love can turn to a long, cold burn.

Everyday Glory.

(N. Peart/G. Lee, A, Lifeson)

In the house where nobody laughs 

And nobody sleeps 

In the house where love lies dying 

And the shadows creep 

A little girl hides, shaking, 

With her hands on her ears 

Pushing back the tears, 'til the pain disappears 

Mama says some ugly words 

Daddy pounds the wall 

They can fight about their little girl later 

But right now they don't care at all 

No matter what they say... 

No matter what they say... 

EVERYDAY PEOPLE 

EVERYDAY SHAME 

EVERYDAY PROMISE 

SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES 

EVERYDAY SUNRISE 

ANOTHER EVERYDAY STORY 

RISE FROM THE ASHES -- 

A BLAZE OF EVERYDAY GLORY 

In the city where nobody smiles 

And nobody dreams 

In the city where desperation 

Drives the bored to extremes 

Just one spark of decency 

Against a starless night 

One glow of hope and dignity 

A child can follow the light 

No matter what they say 

No matter what they say... 

If the future's looking dark 

We're the ones who have to shine 

If there's no one in control 

We're the ones who draw the line 

Though we live in trying times -- 

We're the ones who have to try 

Though we know that time has wings -- 

We're the ones who have to fly
