This time, I’d been sleeping over at a friend’s house. She gave me the first line and then promptly demanded I write the rest after I rhymed her with the second line. I don’t even know if I want to take credit for this one, since it wouldn’t have been born if my girl was any less insistent. Ah, well. Anyways, here’s Track 8 of the first album:

 

Got the speed of a rabbit

Didn’t know I had it

Moving at the speed of light

Got to do it right

Running on the highway

Better do it my way

Everything is moving fast

No time for the past

 

And this is the life that we’re living now

No more time for anything to settle down

Singing to the beats that were lying around

This is the speed and the life I found

 

Super sonic, make it quick

No room for shortcuts, side – road tricks

No more space or extra time

Got to count out every dime

Even through the rain ad slush

Got to do it, it’s a rush!

This is what we’re living for

Spinning our lives out the door

 

And this is the life that we’re living now

No more time for anything to settle down

Singing to the beats that were lying around

This is the speed and the life I found

 

This is the life and this is the speed

No time for anyone to pause or sit and weep

‘Cause this world just keeps going while they’re sitting in the mud

Nothing’s going to wait while they play sitting ducks

The world keeps on spinning

There’s no room for doubt

Only certainty makes sense

Got to believe it full out

So while everyone else just go milling about

I’m going to flow with the life I found

 

‘Cause this is the life that we’re living now

No more time for anyone to stop the crowd

If songs are what raise us above the clouds

Then we just have to keep singing out loud

 

This world never stops, just keeps spinning around

This is the way in this life I found
