Fast Note People - Steve Vai

Fast note people runnin' where they want to 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 and 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 change 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
