At The Speed Of Life Lyrics - Singles - 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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Chorus: 

At the speed of light you're in endless night 

At the speed of sound you don't see the ground 

And in your sports car with the windows down 

And the radio on and you don't stop talking 

Thanks, I'll keep walking 

I'm doing things in my own way 

Well I'm doing things as I please 

And then everything else goes it's 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 

I'm doing things for their own sake 

A picture on a screen won't do 

I need to feel and touch it too 

Do what I feel 

I'm doing things for their own sake 

I gotta find that essential, deep emotion 

Get unhooked from this low commotion 

And do what I feel 

I'm doing things in my own way 

I'm doing things in my own way 

Well I'm doing things as I please 

And then everything else goes it's own way 

At the speed of life 

This is the speed of life
