Fast as I Can Lyrics

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.
