歌曲名 Natural Science(Live in Manchester)

歌手名 Rush

When the ebbing tide retreats

Along the rocky shoreline

It leaves a trail of tidal pools

In a short-lived galaxy

Each microcosmic planet

A complete society

A simple kind mirror

To reflect upon our own

All the busy little creatures

Chasing out their destinies

Living in their pools

They soon forget about the sea

Wheels within wheels in a spiral array

A pattern so grand and complex

Time after time we lose sight of the way

Our causes can't see their effects

A quantum leap forward

In time and in space

The universe learned to expand

The mess and the magic

Triumphant and tragic

A mechanized world out of hand

Computerized clinic

For superior cynics

Who dance to a synthetic band

In their own image

Their world is fashioned

No wonder they don't understand

Wheels within wheels in a spiral array

A pattern so grand and complex

Time after time we lose sight of the way

Our causes can't see their effects

Science like nature must also be tamed

With a view towards its preservation

Given the same state of integrity

It will surely serve us well

Art as expression not as market campaigns

Will still capture our imaginations

Given the same state of integrity

It will surely help us along

The most endangered species the honest man

Will still survive annihilation

Forming a world state of integrity

Sensitive open and strong

Wave after wave will flow with the tide

And bury the world as it does

Tide after tide will flow and recede

Leaving life to go on as it was
