Rush - Scars Lyrics
Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifesonIve stood upon my mountaintopAnd shouted at the skyWalked above the pavementWith my sense amplified--- I get this feelingAll my nerves are ***** wiresTender to the touchSometimes super-sensitiveBut who can care too much?--- I get this feelingScars of pleasureScars of painAtmospheric changesMake them sensitive againEach emotional injuryLeaves behind its markSometimes they come tumbling outLike shadows in the dark--- I get this feelingWhen I think about all I have seenAnd all Ill never seeWhen I think about the peopleWho have opened up to me--- I get this feelingSnow falls deep around my houseAnd holds the winter lightIve heard the lions huntingIn the serengeti night--- I get this feelingForests turned to factoriesAnd river, sea, and skyHungry child in the desertAnd the flies that cloud her eyes--- I get this feelingPleasure leaves a fingerprintAs surely as mortal painIn memories they resonateAnd echo back again
