At The Speed Of Life 歌詞

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 Chorus: 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
