    Shannon’s Perspective:

    Under Construction

    Larry’s Pick: Dreamline

    B.S. - AKA "Before Shannon"

    June 23rd, 1992 I was watching Rush in Dayton, Ohio at the Nutter Center on the Roll The Bones Tour (the source of Ghost Of A Chance). Just copying in the lyrics because this song is about youth immortality and that's what I was at the time - immortal.

    This is the second Rush concert I ever attended and Roll The Bones was the first tour I ever witnessed.

    Dreamline
    Music by Lee and Lifeson / Lyrics by Peart

    He's got a road map of Jupiter
    A radar fix on the stars
    All along the highway
    She's got a liquid-crystal compass
    A picture book of the rivers
    Under the Sahara

    They travel in the time of the prophets
    On a desert highway straight to the heart of the sun
    Like lovers and hereos, and the restless part of everyone
    We're only at home when we're on the run
    On the run

    He's got a star map of Hollywood
    A list of cheap motels
    All along the freeway
    She's got a sister out in Vegas
    The promise of a decent job
    Far away from her hometown

    They travel on the road to redemption
    A highway out of yesterday - that tomorrow will bring
    Like lovers and heroes, birds in the last days of spring
    We're only at home when we're on the wing
    On the wing

    WHEN WE ARE YOUNG
    WANDERING THE FACE OF THE EARTH
    WONDERING WHAT OUR DREAMS MIGHT BE WORTH
    LEARNING THAT WE'RE ONLY IMMORTAL -
    FOR A LIMITED TIME

    WHEN WE ARE YOUNG
    WANDERING THE FACE OF THE EARTH
    WONDERING WHAT OUR DREAMS MIGHT BE WORTH
    LEARNING THAT WE'RE ONLY IMMORTAL -
    FOR A LIMITED TIME

    Time is a gypsy caravan
    Steals away in the night
    To leave you stranded in Dreamland
    Distance is a long-range filter
    Memory a flickering light
    Left behind in the heartland

    We travel in the dark of the new moon
    A starry highway traced on the map of the sky
    Like lovers and heroes, lonely as the eagle's cry
    We're only at home when we're on the fly
    On the fly

    WHEN WE ARE YOUNG
    WANDERING THE FACE OF THE EARTH
    WONDERING WHAT OUR DREAMS MIGHT BE WORTH
    LEARNING THAT WE'RE ONLY IMMORTAL -
    FOR A LIMITED TIME

    WHEN WE ARE YOUNG
    WANDERING THE FACE OF THE EARTH
    WONDERING WHAT OUR DREAMS MIGHT BE WORTH
    LEARNING THAT WE'RE ONLY IMMORTAL -
    FOR A LIMITED TIME

    WHEN WE ARE YOUNG
    WANDERING THE FACE OF THE EARTH
    WONDERING WHAT OUR DREAMS MIGHT BE WORTH
    LEARNING THAT WE'RE ONLY IMMORTAL -
    FOR A LIMITED TIME

    We travel on the road to adventure
    On a desert highway straight to the heart of the sun
    Like lovers and hero's, and the restless part of everyone
    We're only at home when we're on the run
    On the run...
