Words by neil peart and pye dubois,<br>Music by geddy lee and alex lifeson<br><br>Here we go --- vertigo<br>Video vertigo<br>Test for echo<br><br>Here we go --- in slo-mo<br>Video vertigo<br>Test for echo<br><br>Some kind of trouble on the sensory screen<br>Camera curves over caved-in cop cars<br>Bleacher-creatures, would-be desperados<br>Clutch at plausible deniability<br>Don't touch that dial ---<br>We're in denial<br>Until the showcase trial on tv<br><br>Some kind of pictures on the sense o'clock news<br>Miles of yellow tape --- silhouetted chalklines<br>Tough-talking hood boys in pro-team logo knock-offs<br>Conform to uniforms of some corporate entity<br>Don't change that station<br>It's gangster nation<br>Now crime's in syndication on tv<br><br>What a show --- vertigo<br>Video vertigo<br>Test for echo<br><br>Touch and go -- in slo-mo<br>Video vertigo<br>Test for echo<br><br>Some kind of drama live on satellite<br>Hidden camera coverage from the crime scene to the courtroom<br>Nail-biting hood boys in borrowed ties and jackets<br>Clutching at the straws of respectability<br>Can't do the time? <br>Don't do the crime<br>And wind up in the perp walk on tv
