At The Speed Of Life |
| A man lives in the city |
| Surrounded by machines |
| They take away his pity |
| And give him what he dreams |
| A stream of information |
| On a green letter screen |
| Makes him feel in touch with the world |
| And sure of what it means |
| At the speed of light you’re in endless night |
| At the speed of sound you don’t see the ground |
| And in your sports car with the windows down |
| And the radio on and you don’t stop talking |
| Thanks, I’ll keep walking |
| I’m doing things in my own way |
| Well I’m doing things as I please |
| And then everything else goes its own way |
| At the speed of life |
| A man lives in the city |
| Distracted by the news |
| From sitting down with the ones he loves |
| Or taking time to choose |
| And what of conversation? |
| And what is left when he dies? |
| Is there a diary of an honest man |
| To stand against the lies? |
| Repeat Chorus |
| I’m doing things for their own sake |
| A picture on a screen won’t do |
| I need to feel and touch it too |
| Do what I feel |
| I’m doing things for their own sake |
| I gotta find that essential, deep emotion |
| Get unhooked from this low commotion |
| And do what I feel |
| I’m doing things in my own way |
| I’m doing things in my own way |
| Well I’m doing things as I please |
| And then everything else goes its own way |
| At the speed of life |
| This is the speed of life |
