Steve Vai Fast Note People Lyrics

Fast note people runnin' where they want to 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 and 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 change 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
