The silent stray inertia, no burden on my back No determinance, no ballast, no chance of looking back It doesn't matter what's ahead, in time I'll hit it hard No fixing my position, no sign of retard It's the fast life, there's nothing I can do The fast life, suck it in and follow through The fast life, just learning as I go You might call it careless but this fast life is all I've ever known Like a wispy feather defying gravity Or a rolling cobble in the middle of the stream Propelled by a ghost force that never shows its face Increase the ante of this perpetual pace It's the fast life, there's nothing I can do The fast life, suck it in and follow through The fast life, just learning as I go You might call it careless but this fast life is all I've ever known Ever since the day I came out of the womb My head was always bouncing off the walls in the room Always scratching gravel, covering new ground No matter how hard they tried they couldn't pin me down It's the fast life, there's nothing I can do The fast life, suck it in and follow through The fast life, just learning as I go You might call it careless but this fast life is all I've ever known
