The Present Tense - Geddy Lee

Living in the present tense

When you lose the past

And the future makes no sense

Living in the present tense

When there nothing to play

The bigtom of concicuan

You're living in the present tense

Crawling out secure and confident

Imbued with innocence

Ready for the whirl

Suddenly the view was more intense

Living in a different kind of world

You're living

Living in the present tense

When you lose the past

And the future makes no sense

Living in the present tense

There's nothing to blame

No victim of consequence

You're living in the present tense

Something you said

It made me

Step outside the moment

Eyes pan right and left

Around my world

Open yourself

Up to the possibility

Aware of some reality

Outside your world

In a silent universe

The moment can be so real

You almost can't stand it

In a distant universe

Distracted from ourselves

You can't help but wonder

In a crowded universe

When the talking turns to noise

You almost start laughing

You're living

Living in the present tense

When you lose the past

And the future makes no sense

You're living in the present tense

There's nothing to blame

No victim of consequence

You're living in the present tense

There's nothing to blame

No victim of consequence

You're living in the present tense

You're living in the present tense
