Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
Sprawling on the fringes of the city In geometric order
An insulated border
In between the bright lights And the far unlit unknown
Growing up it all seems so one-sided Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided Detached and subdivided In the mass production zone Nowhere is the dreamer Or the misfit so alone
Subdivisions --- In the high school halls In the shopping malls Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions --- In the basement bars In the backs of cars Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth The unattractive truth But the suburbs have no charms to soothe The restless dreams of youth
Drawn like moths we drift into the city The timeless old attraction
Cruising for the action Lit up like a firefly Just to feel the living night
Some will sell their dreams for small desires Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps And start to dream of somewhere To relax their restless flight
Somewhere out of a memory Of lighted streets on quiet nights...
