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 turing 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 flying 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 an*lyze every 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 supposed 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'tregret 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 |
|
