RUSH lyrics : "The Camera Eye"

Grim faced and forbidding
Their faces closed tight
An angular mass of New Yorkers

Pacing in rhythm
Race the oncoming night
They chase through the streets of Manhattan

Head first humanity
Pause at a light
Then flow through the streets of the city


They seem oblivious
To a soft spring rain

Like an English rain
So light, yet endless
From a leaden sky


The buildings are lost
In their 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 watcher
On life's ancient tales

Steeped in the history of London

Green and grey washes

In a wispy white veil
Mist in the streets of Westminster
Wistful and weathered

The pride still prevails
Alive in the streets of the city


Are they oblivious
To this quality?
A quality

Of light unique to
Every city's streets


Pavements may teem
With intense energy
But the city is calm

In this violent sea
