RUSH LYRICS
"Vital Signs" (1981 Single)
1. Vital Signs
2. In the Mood
1. Vital Signs
Unstable condition,
A symptom of life
In mental and environmental change.
Atmospheric disturbance,
The feverish flux
Of human interface and interchange.
The impulse is pure;
Sometimes our circuits get shorted
By external interference.
Signals get crossed
And the balance distorted
By internal incoherence.
A tired mind become a shape-shifter,
Everybody need a mood lifter,
Everybody need reverse polarity.
Everybody got mixed feelings
About the function and the form.
Everybody got to deviate from the norm.
An ounce of perception,
A pound of obscure.
Process information at half speed.
Pause, rewind, replay,
Warm memory chip,
Random sample, hold the one you need.
Leave out the fiction,
The fact is, this friction
Will only be worn by persistence.
Leave out conditions,
Courageous convictions
Will drag the dream into existence.
A tired mind become a shape-shifter,
Everybody need a soft filter,
Everybody need reverse polarity.
Everybody got mixed feelings
About the function and the form.
Everybody got to elevate from the norm...
2. In the Mood
Hey now, baby,
Well, I like your smile.
Won't you come and talk to me for a little while?
Well, you're makin' me crazy,
The way you roll them eyes.
Won't you come and sit with me? I'll tell you all my lies.
Chorus
Hey baby, it's a quarter to eight,
I feel I'm in the mood.
Hey baby, the hour is late,
I feel I've got to move.
Well, hey now, baby,
Don't you talk so fast.
I'm just tryin' to make these good times, I'm tryin' to make it last.
Everything's getting hazy.
Now honey, where'd you go?
I just want to find out, baby...where'd you learn what you know?
Chorus
Well, hey now, baby,
I said I like your style.
You really got me, baby, way down deep inside.
Ooh, you drive me crazy.
Baby, you're the one.
I just want to rock-and-roll you woman, until the night is gone.
Chorus
