RUSH LYRICS - Test For Echo

"Test For Echo"



Here we go...vertigo

Video vertigo

Test for echo



Here we go...in slo-mo

Video vertigo

Test for echo



Some kind of trouble on the sensory screen

Camera curves over caved-in cop cars

Bleacher-creatures, would-be desperadoes

Clutch at plausible deniability

Don't touch that dial

We're in denial

Until the showcase trial on TV



Here we go...vertigo

Video...vertigo

Test for echo



Some kind of pictures on the sense o'clock news

Miles of yellow tape, silhouetted chalk lines

Tough-talking hood boys in pro-team logo knock-offs

Conform to uniforms of some corporate entity

Don't change that station

It's a Gangsta Nation

Now crime's in syndication on TV



What a show

Vertigo

Video vertigo

Test for echo



Touch and go in slo-mo

Video vertigo

Test for echo



Some kind of drama live on satellite

Hidden camera coverage from the crime scene to the courtroom

Nail-biting hood boys in borrowed ties and jackets

Clutching at the straws of respectability



Can't do the time?

Don't do the crime

And wind up in the perp walk on TV
