Moving Too Fast

Did I just hear an alarm start ringing?
刚才是警报声响了吗

汽笛声呼啸远去了吗
Did I see sirens go flying past?
尽管我不知道明天会是怎样

我已经有了一个印象
Though I don't know what tomorrow's bringing
生活的节奏太快了

我像花样滑冰运动员一样溜得漂亮
I've got a singular impression
我骑着摩托仿佛身后喷出的是火箭气流

我只是期待十年之后
Things are moving too fast
我已经有了一个印象

生活的节奏太快了
I'm gliding smooth as a figure skater
然后你说，'“别，

快踩刹车
I'm riding hot as a rocket blast
不管你怎么办

给我停车
I just expected it ten years later
慢点，红灯了'”

但是我说，不
I've got a singular impression
不管我做什么

我都要飞驰而过
Things are moving too fast
我也从不抱怨

无论我尝试什么
And you say, '"Oh, no
我都要全速向前

我从不担心走钢索
Step on the brakes
半途而废的事我从来不做

随着赌注越来越高
Do whatever it takes
我有了一个印象 我周围的景象变化得太快了

我遇到了我爱的人
But stop this train
接着我就发现有另一个人爱我

事情可能有些波折了，但是
Slow, slow! The light's turing red'"
有的人会分析所有的细节

有的人在看不清下一步时踌躇不前
But I say: No! No!
有的人害怕失败而不敢行动

但是我继续前进
Whatever I do
有的人做艺术没有成就

有些人从来不会心动
I barrel on through
有些人不会区分好坏

但是我继续前进
And I don't complain
哦，哦，也许我不会坚持到底

但是，哦，哦，那我该做点什么呢
No matter what I try
我梦想成为写作界的大人物

现在我只是竞标场上的物品
I'm flying full speed ahead
我碰到了我人生中的阿芙洛狄忒（宙斯之女，爱和美的女神）

我做着我从未想过的事
I'm never worried to walk the wire
我们开始着手接下来的生活

在73街找到一间公寓
I won't do anything just '"half-assed'"
大西洋月刊正在印刷我写的第一个章节

一个字都不用改我就得到了两千美元呐
But with the stakes getting somewhat higher
我离开了哥伦比亚大学但我并不后悔

桑尼梅塔读了我写的一本书
I've got a singular impression things are moving too fast
我的心飘了

我膨胀了
I found a woman I love
我就是不断向前

然后我想
And I found an agent who loves me
还有些什么呢

在二十四岁前，我得到了这一切，甚至更多
Things might get bumpy but
很难不去确定

我不受控制地开心旋转
Some people an*lyze every detail
真的难以自抑啊

我有些惊慌一切来得仓促
Some people stall when they can't see the trail
我觉得我完全是以巧取胜

但是我太高兴了我不会担忧
Some people freeze out of fear that they'll fail
这样不一般的局面

我有了独特的印象 事情就是这样无常啊
But I keep rollin' on

Some people can't get success with their art

Some people never feel love in their heart

Some people can't tell the two things apart

But I keep rollin' on

Oh, oh - maybe I can't follow through

But oh, oh - what else am I supposed to do?

I dreamed of writing like the high and mighty

Now I'm the subject of a bidding war

I met my personal Aphrodite

I'm doing things I never dreamed of before

We start to take the next step together

Found an apartment on Seventy-Third

The Atlantic Monthly's printing my first chapter

Two thousand bucks without rewriting one word

I left Columbia and I don'tregret it

I wrote a book and Sonny Mehta read it

My heart's been stolen

My ego's swollen

I just keep rollin' along

And I think

Well, well, what else is in store?

Got all this and more before twenty-four

It's hard not to be sure

I'm spinning out of control

Out of control

I'm feeling panicked and rushed and hurried

I'm feeling outmaneuvered and outclassed

But I'm so happy I can't get worried

About this singular impression

I've got a singular impression things are moving too fast
