RUSH - The Spirit Of Radio lyrics

rate me

Inspired by 'the spirit of radio' in toronto, alive and well (so far).<br>Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson<br><br>Begin the day<br>With a friendly voice<br>A companion, unobtrusive<br>Plays that song that's so elusive<br>And the magic music makes your morning mood<br><br>Off on your way<br>Hit the open road<br>There is magic at your fingers<br>For the spirit ever lingers<br>Undemanding contact<br>In your happy solitude<br><br>Invisible airwaves<br>Crackle with life<br>Bright antennae bristle<br>With the energy<br>Emotional feedback<br>On a timeless wavelength<br>Bearing a gift beyond price ---<br>Almost free...<br><br>All this machinery<br>Making modern music<br>Can still be open-hearted<br>Not so coldly charted<br>It's really just a question<br>Of your honesty<br><br>One likes to believe<br>In the freedom of music<br>But glittering prizes<br>And endless compromises<br>Shatter the illusion<br>Of integrity<br><br>For the words of the profits<br>Are written on the studio wall,<br>Concert hall ---<br>Echoes with the sounds...<br>Of salesmen.
