The World Ain't Slowin' Down |
| I found you sitting on a suitcase crying |
| Beneath my feet, |
| I feel the rumble of a subway train |
| I laugh out loud, |
| 'cause it’s the one thing I hadn’t been trying |
| The train came in breathless, |
| The passanger’s restless |
| You say, «Baby, you’ll never change» |
| You gotta get gone, you gotta get going |
| Hey, the world ain’t slowing down for no one |
| It’s a carnival callin out to you |
| It sounds like a song, |
| Hits you like scripture |
| You paint the picture |
| With colors squeezed from your hand |
| Weren’t you the kid |
| Who just climbed on the merry-go-round |
| Hey look, the world ain’t slowing down |
| Hey, hey, the world ain’t slowing down |
| Hey, hey… |
| Out on the sidewalk, |
| Pigeon’s do the moonwalk |
| I’ll be dancing like Fred Astaire |
| The lamppost’s are rockin, |
| The whole town’s talkin |
| Like a fool in a barber’s chair |
| And I get the sensation, |
| The joy and fustration |
| Like being caught by a tropical rain |
| Freedom can numb you, |
| When there’s no place to run to |
| It feels just like Novocane |
| You gotta get gone, you gotta get going |
| Hey the world ain’t slowin down for no one |
| It’s a carnival callin out to you |
| (it's callin out to you) |
| It sounds like a song, |
| Hits you like scripture |
| You paint the picture |
| With colors squeezed from your hand |
| Weren’t you the kid |
| Who just climbed on the merry-go-round |
| Hey look, the world ain’t slowin down |
| Hey, hey, the world ain’t slowing down |
| Hey, hey… |
| You packed up all your handbags, |
| Throwing off the sandbags |
| I let go and you stepped free |
| I didn’t want to loose you |
| You said, «You didn’t choose to, |
| It’s just how your karma came.» |
| But thanks for the vision, |
| And the twenty-twenty wisdom |
| It hit me like a south-bound train |
| You gotta get gone, you gotta get going |
| Hey the world ain’t slowin down for no one |
| It’s a carnival callin out to you |
| (it's callin out to you) |
| It sounds like a song, |
| Hits you like scripture |
| You paint the picture |
| With colors squeezed from your hand |
| Weren’t you the kid |
| Who just climbed on the merry-go-- |
| Weren’t you the kid |
| Who just climbed on the merry-go-- |
| Weren’t you the kid |
| Who just climbed on the merry-go-round |
| Hey look, the world ain’t slowin down |
| Hey, hey, the world ain’t slowin down |
| Hey, hey, it’s a big, blue world |
| It’s a big, blue world |
| Ridin' on a big, blue w |
