Far Cry (track 01 from the Snakes & Arrows LP by Rush )
Pariah dogs and wandering madmen, barking at strangers and speaking in tongues
The ebb and flow of tidal fortune, electrical changes are charging up the young
It’s a far cry from the world we thought we would inherit
It’s a far cry from the way we thought we would share it
You can almost feel the current flowing
You can almost see the circuits blowing
One day I feel I’m on top of the world and the next it’s falling in on me
I can get back on, I can get back on
One day I feel I’m ahead of the wheel and the next it’s rolling over me
I can get back on, I can get back on
Whirlwind-life of faith and betrayal
Rise in anger, fall back and repeat
Slow degrees on the dark horizon
Full moon rising lays silver at your feet
It’s a far cry from the world we thought we woud inherit
It’s a far cry from the way we thought we would share it
You can almost feel the current flowing
You can almost see the circuits blowing
One day I feel I’m on top of the world and the next it’s falling in on me
I can get back on, I can get back on
One day I feel I’m ahead of the wheel and the next it’s rolling over me
I can get back on, I can get back on
You can almost feel the planet glowing
One day I feel I’m on top of the world and the next it’s falling in on me
I can get back on, I can get back on
One day I feel I’m ahead of the wheel and the next it’s rolling over me
I can get back on, I can get back on
One day I fly through a crack in the sky and the next it’s falling in on me
I can get back on, I can get back on
