Rush - The Camera Eye Lyrics
Grim-faced and forbidding,Their faces closed tight,An angular mass of new yorkersPacing in rhythm,Race the oncoming night,They chase through the streets of manhattan.Headfirst humanity,Pause at a light,Then flow through the streets of the city.They seem obliviousTo a soft spring rain,Like an english rainSo light, yet endlessFrom a leaden sky.The buildings are lost in the limitless rise.My feet catch the pulse and the purposeful stride.I feel the sense of possibilities,I feel the wrench of hard realities.The focus is sharp in the city.Wide-angle watcherOn lifes ancient tales,Steeped in the history of london.Mist in the streets of westminster.Wistful and weathered,The pride still prevails,Alive in the streets of the city.Are they obliviousTo this quality?A qualityOf light unique toEvery citys streets.Pavements may teem with intense energy,But the city is calm in this violent sea.
