Gil Scott-Heron - Fast Lane lyrics
Your rating:
Watching players dealing in the fast lane Set your camera shutters for the fast frames Like Charlie Chaplin movies that go so quick Fending off a stampede is no easy trick Pulses pounding, people rounding dead ends At this pace you'll never hold your old friends Try to build relations that just won't stick Examining the options you take your pick Moving too fast? That's a question only you can answer Losing your grip! Are your palms a little bit slippery, huh? If you crash Crash landings always got the captain to blame But you're the captain driving in the fast lane Losers there to see you in the fast lane Misery loves company so they claim Excitement is the currency we deal in Nursing your casualties so healing If you want to major in distraction Too bad if you're not pleased with my reaction But I've seen so much out here that it is real plain That nothing last for long out in the fast lane I don't want to come off like a preacher But I swear it's not too late to return Somehow square and hip got put in reverse Putting things in fifth gear made it much worse None of this may influence your direction But I hope you can still take suggestions There's a woman out there calling your name Hope that you don't blow it in the fast lane Moving too fast! We're all praying that somehow you don't crash
