Rush - Prime Mover Lyrics

Rush Lyrics

"Prime Mover"

Basic elemental instinct to survive
Stirs the higher passions
Thrill to be alive
Alternating currents in a tidewater surge
Rational resistance to an unwise urge

Anything can happen...

From the point of conception to the moment of truth
At the point of surrender to the burden of proof
From the point of ignition to the final drive
The point of the journey is not to arrive

Anything can happen...

Basic temperamental filters on our eyes (Filters on our eyes)
Alter our perceptions
Lenses polarize
Alternating currents force a show of hands
Rational responses force a change of plans

Anything can happen...

From a point on the compass to magnetic north
The point of the needle moving back and forth
From the point of entry until the candle is burned
The point of departure is not to return

Anything can happen...

I set the wheels in motion, turn up all the machines
Activate the programs and run behind the scenes
I set the clouds in motion turn up light and sound
Activate the window and watch the world go 'round

From the point of conception to the moment of truth
At the point of surrender to the burden of proof
From the point of ignition to the final drive
The point of a journey is not to arrive

Anything can happen...
Anything can happen...
Anything can happen...
Anything can happen...
Anything can happen...
Anything can happen...
Anything can happen...
Anything can happen...
