From the liner notes:
NARROWLY ESCAPING A FROZEN DEATH IN THAT DESERT, I made my way back to Poseidon, and found a berth on a homeward ship. Caught in a terrible storm, we seemed to find salvation in an unexpected signal light. Steering toward it, we soon learned it was false – placed by the denizen...
The Wreckers Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The breakers roar
On an unseen shore
In the teeth of a hurricane
Oh, we struggle in vain
A hellish night
A ghostly light
Appears through the driving rain
Salvation in a human chain
[Chorus]
All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary
Of a miracle too good to be true
All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary
Everything in life you thought you knew
All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary
Because sometimes the target is you
[Verse 2]
Driven aground
With that awful sound
Drowned by the cheer from the shore
Oh, we wonder what for
The people swarm
Through the darkening storm
Gather everything they can score
Until their backs won't bear any more
[Chorus]
All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary
Of a miracle too good to be true
All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary
Everything in life you thought you knew
All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary
Of a miracle too good to be true
All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary
Because sometimes the target is you
[Bridge]
The breakers roar
On an unseen shore
In the teeth of an icy grave
In the teeth of an icy grave
Whoa, the human chain
Leaves a bloody stain
Washed away in the pounding waves
Washed away in the pounding waves
[Chorus]
All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary
Of a miracle too good to be true
All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary
Everything in life you thought you knew
All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary
'Cause sometimes the target is you
All I know is that memory can be too much to carry
Striking down like a bolt from the blue
All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary
Everything in life you thought you knew
All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary, 'cause sometimes the target is you

Geddy Lee:
“The Wreckers” is one of my favourite songs and we wrote it on the wrong instruments! We were doing a jam session and the computer broke down so Alex [Lifeson] and I went into the drum room where he had all these guitars lying around. I picked up one of the acoustics that was tuned to Na...
