Test For Echo — Rush

Words by neil peart and pye dubois, Music by geddy lee and alex lifeson

Here we go --- vertigo Video vertigo Test for echo

Here we go --- in slo-mo Video vertigo Test for echo

Some kind of trouble on the sensory screen Camera curves over caved-in cop cars Bleacher-creatures, would-be desperados Clutch at plausible deniability Don't touch that dial --- We're in denial Until the showcase trial on tv

Some kind of pictures on the sense o'clock news Miles of yellow tape --- silhouetted chalklines Tough-talking hood boys in pro-team logo knock-offs Conform to uniforms of some corporate entity Don't change that station It's gangster nation Now crime's in syndication on tv

What a show --- vertigo Video vertigo Test for echo

Touch and go -- in slo-mo Video vertigo Test for echo

Some kind of drama live on satellite Hidden camera coverage from the crime scene to the courtroom Nail-biting hood boys in borrowed ties and jackets Clutching at the straws of respectability Can't do the time? Don't do the crime And wind up in the perp walk on tv
