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…
Happy Dirxst Day #RushFamily 🐶💗

Some kind of trouble on the sensory screen
Camera curves over caved-in cop cars
Bleacher-creatures, would-be desperadoes
Clutch at plausible deniability
Don't touch that dial
We're in denial
Until the showcase trial on TV…
Happy Monday #RushFamily 💗📡

Carry all those phantoms
Through bitter wind and stormy skies
From the desert to the mountain
From the lowest low to the highest high
Like a Ghost Rider
Keep on riding North and West
Then circle South and East
Show me beauty but there is no peace…
Happy Lifeson Day #RushFamily 🏍️☄️

I feel my spirit resist
But I open up my fist
Lay hand over hand over
Hand over fist
Paper around the stone
Scissors cut the paper
Cut the paper to the bone
Hand over hand
Doesn't seem so much
Hand over hand
Is the strength of the common touch…
Happy TT and Merry Christmas #RushFamily ❤️🎁

Sun dogs fire on the horizon
Meteor rain stars across the night
This moment may be brief
But it can be so bright
Reflected in another source of light
When the moment dies
The spark still flies
Reflected in another pair of eyes…

Well, I guess we all have these feelings
We can't leave unreconciled
Some of them burned on our ceilings
Some of them learned as a child
The things that we're concealing
Will never let us grow
Time will do its healing
You've got to let it go…
