Rush - Alien Shore Lyrics
Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifesonYou and i, we are strangers by one chromosomeSlave to the hormone, body and soulIn a struggle to be happy and freeSwimming in a primitive seaYou and i, we must dive below the surfaceA world of red neon, and ultramarineShining bridges on the ocean floorReaching to the alien shoreFor you and me --- sex is not a competitionFor you and me --- sex is not a job descriptionFor you and me --- we agreeYou and i, we are pressed into these solitudesColor and culture, language and raceJust variations on a themeIslands in a much larger streamFor you and me --- race is not a competitionFor you and me --- race is not a definitionFor you and me --- we agreeReaching for the alien shoreYou and i, we reject these narrow attitudesWe add to each other, like a coral reefBuilding bridges on the ocean floorReaching for the alien shoreFor you and me --- we hold these truths to be self-evidentFor you and me --- wed elect each other presidentFor you and me --- we might agreeBut thats just usReaching for the alien shore
