Sending Out A Warning

Alex Lifeson


Tender is the nerve that
Leads straight to his heart
Sender sends the spit 
That streams down his face 
Want and need are 
Just two useless words 
The third, if she knew it
Would be grace 

Her grip is tight as 
A vice- smothers like a killer
Stealing someone's life
His guilt controls his every move- 
Nothing seems to work
What's he got to prove
Their war is just like any war
All the pain for nothing
Double bladed sword 

Sending out a warning 
Sending out a warning

He's on the edge
Everything is up or down 
She's in his face
He feels like he may drown 
Relentless is 
The scope of her revenge 
She'll give then take 
Then push him off the ledge 

His guilt is tight as 
A vice- smothers like a killer
Stealing someone's life 
Her grip controls his every move-
Nothing seems to work
What's he got to prove 
Their war is just like any war
All the pain for nothing
Double bladed sword 

Sending out a warning
Sending out a warning

He's on the edge
Everything is up or down 
She's in his face
He feels like he may drown 
Relentless is 
The scope of her revenge 
She'll give then take 
Then push him off the ledge 

She's gone too far
He knows her subtle tricks 
He's tried too hard
There are some things 
You can't fix 
Cross too many lines
Be prepared to pay the price 
All the warmth you knew 
Will forever turn to ice
