Vital Signs (Live In YYZ 1981)

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 external incoherence

A tired mind become a shapeshifter
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 a friction
Will only be worn by persistence
Leave out conditions
Courageous convictions
Will drag this dream into existence

A tired mind become a shapeshifter
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

Everybody got mixed feelings
Everybody got mixed feelings
Everybody got to deviate from the norm
Everybody got to deviate from the norm

Everybody got to elevate from the norm
Everybody got to elevate from the norm
Everybody got to elevate from the norm
Everybody got to elevate

Everybody got to escalate from the norm
Everybody got to deviate from the norm
Everybody got to deviate from the norm

Thank you
Everybody's got vital signs
