Distant Early Warning Lyrics - A Show Of Hands (live) - Rush

An ill wind comes arising 

Across the cities of the plain 

There's no swimming in the heavy water 

No singing in the acid rain 

Red alert 

Red alert 

It's so hard to stay together 

Passing through revolving doors 

We need someone to talk to 

And someone to sweep the floors 

Incomplete 

Incomplete

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

The world weighs on my shoulders 

But what am I to do? 

You sometimes drive me crazy 

But I worry about you 

I know it makes no difference 

To what you're going through 

But I see the tip of the iceberg 

And I worry about you 

Cruising under your radar 

Watching from satellites 

Take a page from the red book 

And keep them in your sights 

Red alert 

Red alert 

Photos 

Left and rights of passage 

Black and whites of youth 

Who can face the knowledge 

That the truth is not the truth? 

Obsolete 

Absolutely 

The world weighs on my shoulders 

But what am I to do? 

You sometimes drive me crazy 

But I worry about you 

I know it makes no difference 

To what you're going through 

But I see the tip of the iceberg 

And I worry about you 

The world weighs on my shoulders 

But what am I to do? 

You sometimes drive me crazy 

But I worry about you 

I know it makes no difference 

To what you're going through 

But I see the tip of the iceberg 

And I worry about you 

Absalom, Absalom, Absalom
