Fast As I Can

Tonight woke I in a strange bed,

Strange bedfellow, strange.

Tonight found I in a strange bed

Strange bedfellow, strange.

Said it to me,"you'll be all right."

Said it to me, "you'll be all right."

In a strange bed, in a strange bed,

Bedfellow strange.

Said it to me what they've always

Said.

Said it to me what I've always heard,

'You're gonna make it,

You're gonna make it,

You're gonna make it girl, girl,

You sleep with success tonight."

Slept I have in beds of middle

America,

Life off the fat of the man.

I'm gonna go out tonight,

I'm gonna try to make it

Live I as fast as I can

Live I as fast I as can.

And I said to it, "success, I didn't

Recognize you at first,"

And I said to it, "success, you

Don't look the way,

You don't look the way I have

Dreamed of you,

Dreamed of you."

"well, not strange," said success,

"to find me here tonight.

Not strange," said success.

"what say you to a bargain twixt

You and I, success and life?"

And success it said to me:

"forget about the beds of middle

America,

You don't need the fat of the man.

Sleep with me tonight, that's all

You've got to do to make it.

And die as fast as we can

Die as fast we as can."

Well I said to it, "success, I

Couldn't love you if I tried,"

Well I said to it, 'success, I

Couldn't love you if I tried,

And I've tried and I've tried."

Something about success that lies,

Something about success

That lies, lies next to me.

In a strange bed, a strange bed,

Bedfellow strange.
