 WANG CHUNG - At The Speed Of Life Lyrics

17e171115m71147"ee3b
[jack hues]
17e171115m71147"ee3b

17e171115m71147"ee3b
A man lives in the city
17e171115m71147"ee3b
Surrounded by machines
17e171115m71147"ee3b
They take away his pity
17e171115m71147"ee3b
And give him what he dreams
17e171115m71147"ee3b
A stream of information
17e171115m71147"ee3b
On a green letter screen
17e171115m71147"ee3b
Makes him feel in touch with the world
17e171115m71147"ee3b
And sure of what it means
17e171115m71147"ee3b

17e171115m71147"ee3b
Chorus:
17e171115m71147"ee3b
At the speed of light you're in endless night
17e171115m71147"ee3b
At the speed of sound you don't see the ground
17e171115m71147"ee3b
And in your sports car with the windows down
17e171115m71147"ee3b
And the radio on and you don't stop talking
17e171115m71147"ee3b
Thanks, i'll keep walking
17e171115m71147"ee3b
I'm doing things in my own way
17e171115m71147"ee3b
Well i'm doing things as i please
17e171115m71147"ee3b
And then everything else goes its own way
17e171115m71147"ee3b
At the speed of life
17e171115m71147"ee3b

17e171115m71147"ee3b
A man lives in the city
17e171115m71147"ee3b
Distracted by the news
17e171115m71147"ee3b
From sitting down with the ones he loves
17e171115m71147"ee3b
Or taking time to choose
17e171115m71147"ee3b
And what of conversation?
17e171115m71147"ee3b
And what is left when he dies?
17e171115m71147"ee3b
Is there a diary of an honest man
17e171115m71147"ee3b
To stand against the lies?
17e171115m71147"ee3b

17e171115m71147"ee3b
Repeat chorus
17e171115m71147"ee3b

17e171115m71147"ee3b
I'm doing things for their own sake
17e171115m71147"ee3b
A picture on a screen won't do
17e171115m71147"ee3b
I need to feel and touch it too
17e171115m71147"ee3b
Do what i feel
17e171115m71147"ee3b

17e171115m71147"ee3b
I'm doing things for their own sake
17e171115m71147"ee3b
I gotta find that essential, deep emotion
17e171115m71147"ee3b
Get unhooked from this low commotion
17e171115m71147"ee3b
And do what i feel
17e171115m71147"ee3b
I'm doing things in my own way
17e171115m71147"ee3b

17e171115m71147"ee3b
I'm doing things in my own way
17e171115m71147"ee3b
Well i'm doing things as i please
17e171115m71147"ee3b
And then everything else goes its own way
17e171115m71147"ee3b
At the speed of life
17e171115m71147"ee3b

17e171115m71147"ee3b
This is the speed of life
17e171115m71147"ee3b
