Rush - Double Agent Lyrics
Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifesonWhere would you rather be?Anywhere but hereWhen will the time be right?Anytime but nowOn the edge of sleep,I was driting for half the nightAnxious and restless,Pressed down by the darknessBound up and wound up so tightSo many decisions, a million revisionsCaught between and light...Wilderness of mirrorsWorld of polished steelGears and iron chainsTurn the grinding wheelI run between the shadowsSome are phantoms, some are realWhere would you rather be?Anywhere but hereWhen will the time be right?Anytime but nowThe doubt and the fearI know would all disappearAnywhere but hereOn the edge of sleep,I heard voices behind the doorThe known and the nameless,Familiar and facelessMy angels and my demons at warWhich one will lose --- depends on what I chooseOr maybe which voice I ignore...Wilderness of mirrorsStreets of cold desireMy precious sense of honorJust a shield of rusty wireI hold against the chaos ---And the cross of holy fireWilderness of mirrorsSo easy to deceiveMy precious sense of rightnessIs sometimes so naiveSo that which I imagineIs that which I believeOn the edge of sleep, I awoke to a sun so brightRested and fearless, cheered by your nearnessI knew which direction was rightThe case had been tried by the jury insideThe choice between darkness and light...
