RUSH - Prime Mover lyrics

rate me

Basic elemental instinct to survive

Stirs the higher passions

Thrill to be alive

Alternating currents in a tidewater surge

Rational resistance to an unwise urge

Anything can happen...

From the point of conception

To the moment of truth

At the point of surrender

To the burden of proof

From the point of ignition

To the final drive

The point of the journey is not to arrive

Anything can happen...

Basic temperamental filters on our eyes

Alter our perceptions

Lenses polarize

Alternating currents force a show of hands

Rational responses force a change of plans

Anything can happen...

From a point on the compass

To magnetic north

The point of the needle moving back and forth

From the point of entry

Until the candle is burned

The point of departure is not to return

Anything can happen...

I set the wheels in motion

Turn up all the machines

Activate the programs

And run behind the scene

I set the clouds in motion

Turn up light and sound

Activate the window

And watch the world go 'round

From the point of conception

To the moment of truth

At the point of surrender

To the burden of proof

From the point of ignition

To the final drive

The point of a journey

Is not to arrive

Anything can happen...
