RUSH - The Pass lyrics

rate me

Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson<br><br>Proud swagger out of the schoolyard<br>Waiting for the world's applause<br>Rebel without a conscience<br>Martyr without a cause<br><br>Static on your frequency<br>Electrical storm in your veins<br>Raging at unreachable glory<br>Straining at invisible chains<br><br>And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge<br>Staring down into a heartless sea<br>Can't face life on a razor's edge<br>Nothing's what you thought it would be<br><br>All of us get lost in the darkness<br>Dreamers learn to steer by the stars<br>All of us do time in the gutter<br>Dreamers turn to look at the cars<br>Turn around and turn around and turn around<br>Turn around and walk the razor's edge<br>Don't turn your back<br>And slam the door on me<br><br>It's not as if this barricade<br>Blocks the only road<br>It's not as if you're all alone<br>In wanting to explode<br><br>Someone set a bad example<br>Made surrender seem all right<br>The act of a noble warrior<br>Who lost the will to fight<br><br>And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge<br>Staring down into a heartless sea<br>Done with life on a razor's edge<br>Nothing's what you thought it would be<br><br>No hero in your tragedy<br>No daring in your escape<br>No salutes for your surrender<br>Nothing noble in your fate<br>Christ, what have you done?
