Time And Motion

Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson



Time and motion

Wind and sun and rain

Days connect like boxcars in a train



Fill them up with precious cargo

Squeeze in all that you can find

Spontaneous elation

And the long-enduring kind



Time and motion

Flesh and blood and fire

Lives connect in webs of gold and razor wire



Spin a thread of precious contact

Squeeze in all that you can find

Spontaneous relations

And the long-enduring kind



The mighty ocean

Dances with the moon

The silent forest

Echoes with the loon



Time and motion

Live and love and dream

Eyes connect like interstellar beams



Superman in supernature

Needs all the comfort he can find

Spontaneous emotion

And the long enduring kind
