Fast As I Can

McKeown Erin

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.
