Between The Wheels

Rush · Sector 3 [2009]

To live between a rock

And a hard place

In between time

Cruising in the prime time

Soaking up the cathode rays.



To live between the wars

In our time

Living in real time

Holding the good time

Holding on to yesterdays.



You know how that rabbit feels

Going under your speeding wheels

Bright images flashing by

Like windshields towards a fly

Frozen in the fatal climb

But the wheels of time

Just pass you by.



Wheels can take you around

Wheels can cut you down

We can go from boom to bust

From dreams to a bowl of dust

We can fall from rockets red glare

Down to "Brother can you spare"

Another war another wasteland

And another lost generation.



It slips between your hands like water

This living in real time

A dizzying lifetime

Reeling by on celluloid.



Struck between the eyes

By the big time world

Walking uneasy streets

Hiding beneath the sheets

Got to try and fill the void.



You know how that rabbit feels

Going under your speeding wheels

Bright images flashing by

Like windshields towards a fly

Frozen in the fatal climb

But the wheels of time

Just passed you by.



We can go from boom to bust

From dreams to a bowl of dust

We can fall from rockets red glare

Down to "Brother can you spare"

Another war another wasteland

And another lost generation.
