rush - alien shore lyrics
you and i, we are strangers by one chromosome
slave to the hormone, body and soul
in a struggle to be happy and free
swimming in a primitive sea
you and i, we must dive below the surface
a world of red neon and ultramarine
shining bridges on the ocean floor
reaching to the alien sh-r-
for you and me, for you and me
you and me, s-x is not a compet-tion
for you and me, s-x is not a job description
for you and me, we agree
you and i, we are pressed into these solitudes
colour and culture, language and race
just variations on a theme
islands in a much larger stream, yeah
for you and me, race is not a compet-tion
for you and me, race is not a definition
for you and me, we agree
reaching for the alien sh-r-
reaching for the alien sh-r-
reaching for the alien sh-r-
you and i, we reject these narrow att-tudes
we add to each other, like a coral reef
building bridges on the ocean floor
reaching for the alien sh-r-
for you and me, s-x is not a compet-tion
for you and me, race is not a definition
for you and me, we hold these truths to be self-evident
for you and me, we’d elect each other president
for you and me, we might agree
but that’s just us
reaching for the alien sh-r-
but that’s just us
reaching for the alien sh-r-
but that’s just us
reaching for the alien sh-r-
but that’s just us
reaching for the alien sh-r-
