VITAL SIGNS Lyrics

Artist: Rush
Album: Moving Pictures

Words by Neil Peart, Music by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson

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
