Rush - Test For Echo lyrics

Video vertigo

Test for echo

Here we go - in slo-mo

Video vertigo

Test for echo

Some kind of trouble on the sensory screen

Camera curves over caved-in cop cars

Bleacher-creatures, would-be desperados

Clutch at plausible deniability

Don't touch that dial-

We're in denial

Until the showcase trial on TV

Some kind of pictures on the sense o'clock news

Miles of yello tape - silhoutted chalklines

Tough-talking hoodboys in pro-team logo knockoffs

Conform to uniforms of some corporate entity

Don;t change that station

It's Gangster Nation

Now crime's in syndication on TV

What a show - vertigo

Video vertigo

Test for echo

Touch and go - vertigo

Video vertigo

Test for echo

Some kind of drama live on satallite

Hidden camera coverage from the crime scene to the courtroom

Nail-biting hoodboys in borrowed ties and jackets

Clutching at the straws of respectability

Can't do the time?

Don't do the crime

And wind up on the perp walk on TV
