Natural Science from Permanent Waves 1980

[1. Tide Pools]

When the ebbing tide retreats
Along the rocky shoreline
It leaves a trail of tidal pools
In a short-lived galaxy
Each microcosmic planet
A complete society

A simple kind mirror
To reflect upon our own
All the busy little creatures
Chasing out their destinies
Living in their pools
They soon forget about the sea...

Wheels within wheels in a spiral array
A pattern so grand and complex
Time after time we lose sight of the way
Our causes can't see their effects

[2. Hyperspace]

A quantum leap forward
In time and in space
The universe learned to expand

The mess and the magic
Triumphant and tragic
A mechanized world out of hand

Computerized clinic
For superior cynics
Who dance to a synthetic band

In their own image
Their world is fashioned
No wonder they don't understand

[3. Permanent Waves]

Science, like nature
Must also be tamed
With a view towards its preservation
Given the same
State of integrity
It will surely serve us well

Art as expression
Not as market campaigns
Will still capture our imaginations
Given the same
State of integrity
It will surely help us along

The most endangered species
The honest man
Will still survive annihilation
Forming a world
State of integrity
Sensitive, open and strong

Wave after wave will flow with the tide
And bury the world as it does
Tide after tide will flow and recede
Leaving life to go on as it was...

Maybe there's something special in rush that you're not able to see, because of your "short ranged" way of seeing things... Respect talent that you don't have.

One of my top 3 Rush songs.. Deep lyrics and incredible instrumentals

you are a dick, and one that can not recognize talent either - in other words a loser of the highest order, period. But that is ok, because not everyone can see things clearly and you're just one of them, LOL!

Yeah, I forgot Zeppelin, Tull and Yes!

Still Rush Rocks harder and they are still doing it. That automatically moves them up on the list.
I want the Snakes and Arrows DVD as soon as I can get my hands on it!

what the hell is with the washing machines????

Its cause Geddy isn't using stage amps. I think he uses SansAmps direct into the house mixing board or a similar arrangement.
SwedishviKingohnoes (November 29, 2008 at 10:36 am)
so he puts washing machines there? whats the point of it if he doesnt even use them? lol
