|
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 sensation 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 barrell 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 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 get 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 re-writing 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! |
