《Natural Science (Rio Live Album Version)》歌词

[00:08:34] Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson

[00:08:34] I. tide pools

[00:08:34] When the ebbing tide retreats

[00:08:34] Along the rocky shoreline

[00:08:34] It leaves a trail of tidal pools

[00:08:34] In a short-lived galaxy

[00:08:34] Each microcosmic planet

[00:08:34] A complete society

[00:08:34] A simple kind mirror

[00:08:34] To reflect upon our own

[00:08:34] All the busy little creatures

[00:08:34] Chasing out their destinies

[00:08:34] Living in their pools

[00:08:34] They soon forget about the sea...

[00:08:34] Wheels within wheels

[00:08:34] In a spiral array

[00:08:34] A pattern so grand

[00:08:34] And complex

[00:08:34] Time after time

[00:08:34] We lose sight of the way

[00:08:34] Our causes can't see

[00:08:34] Their effects

[00:08:34] Ii. hyperspace

[00:08:34] A quantum leap forward

[00:08:34] In time and in space

[00:08:34] The universe learned to expand

[00:08:34] The mess and the magic

[00:08:34] Triumphant and tragic

[00:08:34] A mechanized world, out of hand

[00:08:34] Computerized clinic

[00:08:34] For superior cynics

[00:08:34] Who dance to a synthetic band

[00:08:34] In their own image

[00:08:34] Their world is fashioned ---

[00:08:34] No wonder they don't understand

[00:08:34] Wheels within wheels

[00:08:34] In a spiral array

[00:08:34] A pattern so grand

[00:08:34] And complex

[00:08:34] Time after time

[00:08:34] We lose sight of the way

[00:08:34] Our causes can't see

[00:08:34] Their effects

[00:08:34] Iii. permanent waves

[00:08:34] Science, like nature

[00:08:34] Must also be tamed

[00:08:34] With a view towards its preservation

[00:08:34] Given the same

[00:08:34] State of integrity

[00:08:34] It will surely serve us well

[00:08:34] Art as expression ---

[00:08:34] Not as market campaigns

[00:08:34] Will still capture our imaginations

[00:08:34] Given the same

[00:08:34] State of integrity

[00:08:34] It will surely help us along

[00:08:34] The most endangered species ---

[00:08:34] The honest man

[00:08:34] Will still survive annihilation

[00:08:34] Forming a world ---

[00:08:34] State of integrity

[00:08:34] Sensitive, open, and strong

[00:08:34] Wave after wave

[00:08:34] Will flow with the tide

[00:08:34] And bury the world as it does

[00:08:34] Tide after tide

[00:08:34] Will flow and recede

[00:08:34] Leaving life to go on

[00:08:34] As it was...
