The Spirit of Radio (Snakes & Arrows Live Version)

The Spirit of Radio (Snakes & Arrows Live Version) - Rush

Begin the day with a friendly voice

A companion unobtrusive

Plays the song that's so elusive

And the magic music makes your morning mood

Off on your way hit the open road

There is magic at your fingers

For the spirit ever lingers

Undemanding contact in your happy solitude

Invisible airwaves crackle with life

Bright antennae bristle with the energy

Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength

Bearing a gift beyond price almost free

All this machinery making modern music

Can still be open-hearted

Not so coldly charted it's really just

A question of your honesty yeah your honesty

One likes to believe in the freedom of music

But glittering prizes and endless compromises

Shatter the illusion of integrity yeah

Invisible airwaves crackle with life

Bright antennae bristle with the energy

Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength

Bearing a gift beyond price almost free

For the words of the prophets were written on the studio wall

Concert hall

And echoes with the sound of salesmen

Of salesmen of salesmen
