Poem
As others Rush out from Subdivisions applying War Paint hiding Scars All have Grand Designs, their own Missions you feel as Nobody's Hero watching their fancy cars What You're Doing more than one can ask The Way the Wind Blows sends the Good News First You have a Bravest Face - they a mask the one, is you blessed - for they are cursed Paid The Big Money without counting cost You Bet Your Life if truly A Farewell to Kings to enter a Twilight Zone and get lost it's A Far Cry to get Something for Nothing With The Speed of Love to find your seat Emotion Detector going crazy you Stick It Out - await a strong and simple beat to dance to - and not be lazy The Available Light dims it's beams The Main Monkey Business about to start So far from your Middletown Dreams to feel a Secret Touch on your heart Time and Motion are about to Freeze as Circumstances assume control Their music brings you to your knees as it does all in The Larger Bowl Your Counterparts they feel it too beyond what The Camera Eye can see Beneath, Between, and Behind you like Second Nature - where you want to be After time most short, when the music stops and there's only the sound of applause Aging Dog Years - your heart drops put into Limbo by a too long pause Lessons inform you it's just Chemistry their giving a Marathon of a gig They've kept Open Secrets under Lock and Key Show Don't Tell is all they know, you dig A Sweet Miracle - upon the stage Heresy - it has to end know you must Turn the Page Afterimage - you it sends into the night Rocking Under Starry Heavens Titles and partial lyrics by Lee/Lifeson/Peart
