Moving Too Fast |
| Did I just hear an alarm start ringing? |
| Did I see sirens go flying past? |
| Though I don’t know what tomorrow’s bringing |
| I’ve got a singular impression things are moving too fast |
| I’m gliding smooth as a figure skater |
| I’m riding hot as a rocket blast — |
| I just expected it ten years later |
| I’ve got a singular impression things are moving too fast |
| And you say, «Oh, no |
| Step on the brakes |
| Do whatever it takes |
| But stop this train! |
| Slow, slow! |
| The light’s turning red!» |
| But I say: No! |
| No! |
| Whatever I do |
| I barrel on through |
| And I don’t complain |
| No matter what I try, I’m flyin' full speed ahead! |
| I’m never worried to walk the wire |
| I won’t do anything just «half-assed,» |
| But with the stakes getting somewhat higher |
| I’ve got a singular impression that things are moving too fast |
| I found a woman I love |
| And I found an agent who loves me — |
| Things might get bumpy, but |
| Some people analyze ev’ry detail |
| Some people stall when they can’t see the trail |
| Some people freeze out of fear that they’ll fail |
| But I keep rollin' on |
| Some people can’t find success with their art |
| Some people never feel love in their heart |
| Some people can’t tell the two things apart |
| But I keep rollin' on |
| Oh, oh — maybe I can’t follow through |
| But oh, oh — what else am I s’pposed to do? |
| I dreamed of writing like the high and mighty — |
| Now I’m the subject of a bidding war! |
| I met my personal Aphrodite — |
| I’m doing things I never dreamed of before! |
| We start to take the next step together — |
| Found an apartment on Seventy-Third! |
| The Atlantic Monthly’s printing my first chapter — |
| Two thousand bucks without rewriting one word! |
| I left Columbia and I don’t regret it — |
| I wrote a book and Sonny Mehta read it! |
| My heart’s been stolen! |
| My ego’s swollen! |
| I just keep rollin' along! |
| And I think, «Well, well, what else is in store? |
| Got all this and more |
| Before twenty-four!» |
| It’s hard not to be sure I’m spinning out of control! |
| Out of control! |
| I’m feeling panicked and rushed and hurried! |
| I’m feeling outmaneuvered and outclassed |
| But I’m so happy I can’t get worried |
| About this singular impression — |
| I’ve got a singular impression things are moving too fast! |
