Alex Lifeson - Double Agent lyrics

[Chorus 1] Where would you rather be? Anywhere but here When will the time be right? Anytime but now On the edge of sleep, I was drifting for half the night Anxious and restless, pressed down by the darkness Bound up and wound up so tight So tight... So many decisions, a million revisions Caught between darkness and light... Wilderness of mirrors World of polished steel Gears and iron chains Turn the grinding wheel I run between the shadows Some are phantoms, some are real [Chorus 1] Where would you rather be? The doubt and the fear I know would all disappear Anywhere but here Anywhere but here... On the edge of sleep, I heard voices behind the door The known and the nameless, familiar and faceless My angels and my demons at war At war... Which one will lose depends on what I choose Or maybe which voice I ignore...' Wilderness of mirrors Streets of cold desire My precious sense of honor Just a shield of rusty wire I hold against the chaos And the cross of holy fire Wilderness of mirrors So easy to deceive My precious sense of rightness Is sometimes so naive So that which I imagine Is that which I believe On the edge of sleep, I awoke to a sun so bright Rested and fearless, cheered by your nearness I knew which direction was right Was right... The case had been tried by the jury inside The choice between darkness and light... The choice between darkness and light'
