Speed Of Life Lyrics

Like ghosts on open windows

The curtains rise and fall

The past is a foreign country

At the dark end of the hall

And the morning is an offering

To the shelter of the day

But the violent come

And they bury it away

Time goes by at the speed of life

Slower than a slow dance on a hot summer night

Faster than the skin breaks on the edge of a knife

And we just go on at the speed of life

Like questions begging answers

The stars appear at night

What's it mean to love somebody

What's it mean to be alive

I heard a little girl laughing

At her first sight of snow

Saw an old man dying

In a room, he didn't know

While the world turns through the ages

It's a most peculiar ride

Holding on to one another

Moving at the speed of life

We just go on at the speed of life

A family on the midway in the carnival lights

Moving in a circle through the sounds and the sights

And it all goes by at the speed of life

Time goes by at the speed of life

Slower than a slow dance on a hot summer night

Faster than the skin breaks, baby

On the edge of a knife

And we just go on and on at the speed of life

Moving at the speed of life, speed of life

On and on and on and on

On and on and on and on
