At The Speed of Life — текст песни (Wang Chung)

(jack hues)



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 youre in endless night

At the speed of sound you dont see the ground

And in your sports car with the windows down

And the radio on and you dont stop talking

Thanks, Ill keep walking

Im doing things in my own way

Well Im 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



Im doing things for their own sake

A picture on a screen wont do

I need to feel and touch it too

Do what I feel



Im doing things for their own sake

I gotta find that essential, deep emotion

Get unhooked from this low commotion

And do what I feel

Im doing things in my own way



Im doing things in my own way

Well Im doing things as I please

And then everything else goes its own way

At the speed of life



This is the speed of life
