Fast note people runnin' Where they wanna go See a world in triple time Brutal to the slow Consume the seeds of the outline No time to grow a melody Take the overture and run And leave the symphony Take the overture and run Leave the symphony Fast notes come and they're gone The freeway and the streets Are the staffs they're written on The memory of them fades More keep rushing by, but so few reverberate Fast notes who want it faster and faster The speed is doubled and another flag is added New flags mean faster living The flags get heavy And the stems start to give in Stems break fast notes stop cold Miss one more chance to become whole ♪ Fast note people runnin' Faster all the time Fast note, polyrhythmic beings Maybe you don't, but I So often get enchanted Enchanted by the speed To take the overture and run And leave the symphony Take the overture and run But leave me the symphony
