Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart All around that dull gray world From Moscow to Berlin People storm the barricades Walls go tumbling in The counter-revolution People smiling through their tears Who can give them back their lives And all those wasted years? All those precious wasted years —  Who will pay? All around that dull gray world Of ideology People storm the marketplace And buy up fantasy The counter-revolution At the counter of a store People buy the things they want And borrow for a little more All those wasted years All those precious, wasted years  Who will pay? Do we have to be forgiving at last? What else can …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart Well, I was only a kid — didn’t know enough to be afraid Playing the game, but not the way the big boys played Nothing to lose — maybe I had something to trade The way the big wheel spins Well, I was only a kid, on a holy crusade I placed no trust in a faith that was ready-made Take no chances on paradise delayed So I do a slow fade PLAYING FOR TIME Don’t want to wait for heaven LOOKING FOR LOVE For an angel to forgive my sins PLAYING WITH FIRE Chasing something new to believe in LOOKING FOR LOVE The way …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart You turn my head I spin my wheels Running on empty — You know how that feels I’m on a roll now — Or is it a slide? Can’t be too careful With that dangerous pride If I could only reach that dial inside And turn it up FACE UP — Or you can only back down FACE UP — Hit the target, or you better hit the ground FACE UP — There’s still time to turn the game around FACE UP — Turn it up — Or turn that wild card down Turn it up Don’t complain Don’t explain I don’t think my new resolve Can stand the …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart Well, you can stake that claim — Good work is the key to good fortune Winners take that praise Losers seldom take that blame If they don’t take that game And sometimes the winner takes nothing We draw our own designs But fortune has to make that frame We go out in the world and take our chances Fate is just the weight of circumstances That’s the way that lady luck dances Roll the bones Why are we here?  Because we’re here. Roll the bones Why does it happen?  Because it happens. Roll the bones Faith is cold as ice — Why are little ones …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart If we burn our wings Flying too close to the sun If the moment of glory Is over before it’s begun If the dream is won — Though everything is lost We will pay the price, But we will not count the cost When the dust has cleared And victory denied A summit too lofty River a little too wide If we keep our pride — Though paradise is lost We will pay the price, But we will not count the cost And if the music stops There’s only the sound of the rain All the hope and glory All the sacrifice in vain If …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart He’s got a road map of Jupiter A radar fix on the stars All along the highway She’s got a liquid-crystal compass A picture book of the rivers Under the Sahara They travel in the time of the prophets On a desert highway straight to the heart of the sun Like lovers and heroes, and the restless part of everyone We’re only at home when we’re on the run On the run He’s got a star map of Hollywood A list of cheap motels All along the freeway She’s got a sister out in Vegas The promise of a decent job Far away from her …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart 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 …

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart 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 …
