The time signature on this main riff can best be explained like this:
8/8  6/8  8/8  7/8
I strongly suggest listening to the song to get the real feel for it

|---------------------------------|------------------------------|

The song actually starts with just the 8/8 and 7/8 then goes into the progression above.
This also begins the second verse.

Here's the harmony bass groove for all you Geddy fans

|--8---10----8---10----8----8-----|--8----10----11-11--10--------|
|-10---12---10---12---10---10-----|-10----12----13-13--12--------|

Continue as guitar riff


CHORUS

         F  C       Am(Asus2?)        F  G       D5   E5
But it's my turn to drive    But it's my turn to drive

F5            G5        A5 A GAAA  F5            G5            D5   E5
Driven to the margin of error      Driven to the edge of control

F5            G5        A5 A GAAA  F5             G5       D5    E5   F5  G5   A5
Driven to the margin of terror     Driven to the edge of a deep, dark hole


Here is a diagram of the entire song along with the lyrics (the numbers indicate the time signatures of the main riff)

8/8  7/8  (drums in) 8/8  7/8

8/8                         6/8       8/8                           7/8
Driven up and down in circles         Skidding on a road of black ice

8/8                          6/8       8/8                        7/8
Staring in and out storm windows        Driven to a fool's paradise


CHORUS (as above)

8/8  7/8

VERSE 2:
Driven day and night in circles, Spinning like a whirlwind of leaves
Stealing in and out back alleys, Driven to another den of theives

CHORUS

BASS SOLO  8/8  7/8  guitar comes in, solos for a while: then this

D5  G5  A5  C5 F5 E5  D5  G5  C5
(with riff above)
Driven in-driven to the edge
Driven out-on the thin end of the wedge
Driven off-by things I've never seen
RIFF CHANGE
F5  Bb5 C5  Eb5 G#5 G5   F5  Bb5  Eb5
Driven on-by the road to somewhere I've never been
Driven on
RIFF CHANGE BACK TO D5
Driven in-on the thin end of the wedge
Driven out-driven to the edge
                                                  D5  E5  F5  G5  A5
But it's my turn to drive, but it's my turn to drive

VERSE 3:
The road unwinds toward me, what was there is gone
The road unwinds before me, and I go riding on

CHORUS(sort of double-timed)
But it's my turn to drive, but it's my turn to drive
Driven to the margin of error, driven to the edge of control
Driven to the margin of terror, driven to the edge of a deep, dark hole
Driven to the edge of a deep, dark hole

JAM ON RIFF TO END
There's like a billion guitar and bass tracks going, so it's kinda hard to keep up with
