Vital Signs Lyrics

The song Vital Signs is performed by Rush in the album named Moving Pictures in the year 1997 .



Unstable condition, a symptom of life
In mental and environmental change
Atmospheric disturbance, the feverish flux
Of human interface and interchange

The impulse is pure
Sometimes our circuits get shorted
By external interference
Signals get crossed and the balance distorted
By internal incoherence

A tired mind become a shape shifter
Everybody need a mood lifter
Everybody need reverse polarity
Everybody got mixed feelings about the function and the form
Everybody got to deviate from the norm

An ounce of perception, a pound of obscure
Process information at half speed
Pause, rewind, replay, warm memory chip
Random sample, hold the one you need

Leave out the fiction, the fact is this friction
Will only be worn by persistence
Leave out conditions, courageous convictions
Will drag the dream into existence

A tired mind become a shape shifter
Everybody need a soft filter
Everybody need reverse polarity
Everybody got mixed feelings about the function and the form
Everybody got to elevate from the norm

Everybody got mixed feelings
Everybody got mixed feelings
Everybody got to deviate from the norm
Everybody got to deviate from the norm

Everybody got to elevate from the norm
Everybody got to elevate from the norm
Everybody got to elevate from the norm
Everybody got to evalate from the norm

Everybody got to escalate from the norm
Everybody got to elevate
Everybody got to elevate from the norm
Everybody got to deviate from the norm
