Rush - Test for Echo lyrics

Here we go, vertigo video vertigo
Test for echo

Here we go, in slo-mo video vertigo
Test for echo 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

Here we go what a show, vertigo
Video vertigo test for echo

Touch and go, in slow-mo video vertigo
Test for echo test for echo

Here we go, vertigo video vertigo

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

Here we go, vertigo video vertigo
Test for echo

What a show, vertigo video vertigo
Test for echo

Touch and go, in slow-mo video vertigo
Test for echo test for echo
