《Countdown(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Countdown - Rush

[00:00:00] Written by：Geddy Lee/Alex Lifeson/Neil Peart

[00:00:47] Lit up with anticipation

[00:00:51] We arrive at the launching site

[00:00:54] The sky is still dark nearing dawn

[00:00:58] On the Florida coastline

[00:01:02] Circling choppers slash the night

[00:01:05] With roving searchlight beams

[00:01:09] This magic day when superscience

[00:01:13] Mingles with the bright stuff of dreams

[00:01:31] Floodlit in the hazy distance

[00:01:34] The star of this unearthly show

[00:01:38] Venting vapours like the breath

[00:01:41] Of a sleeping white dragon

[00:01:45] Crackling speakers voices tense

[00:01:49] Resume the final count

[00:01:52] All systems check T minus nine

[00:01:55] As the sun and the drama start to mount

[00:02:14] The air is charged a humid motionless mass

[00:02:22] The crowds and the cameras

[00:02:25] The cars full of spectators pass

[00:02:29] Excitement so thick you could cut it with a knife

[00:02:36] Technology high on the leading edge of life

[00:03:19] The earth beneath us starts to tremble

[00:03:23] With the spreading of a low black cloud

[00:03:26] A thunderous roar shakes the air

[00:03:29] Like the whole world exploding

[00:03:34] Scorching blast of golden fire

[00:03:37] As it slowly leaves the ground

[00:03:41] Tears away with a mighty force

[00:03:44] The air is shattered by the awesome sound

[00:04:03] Excitement so thick you could cut it with a knife

[00:04:10] Technology high on the leading edge of life

[00:04:17] Like a pillar of cloud the smoke lingers

[00:04:22] High in the air

[00:04:24] In fascination with the eyes of the world

[00:04:30] We stare
