Song lyrics Vital Signs by Rush

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
