Fast Note People Songtext
von Steve Vai

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
