The World Ain't Slowin' Down
Quelle: Spotify
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 passengers restless
You said, "Baby, you'll never change"
You gotta get gone
You gotta get goin'
Hey, the world ain't slowin' down for no one
It's a carnival calling out to you
It sounds like a song
It 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 slowin' down
Hey hey
Out on the sidewalk
The pigeons do the moonwalk
I'll be dancing like Fred Astaire
The lampposts are rockin'
The whole town's talking
Like a fool in a barber's chair
And I get the sensation
Joy and frustration
Like getting caught by a drop of cold rain
Freedom can numb you
When there's no place to run to
It feels just like Novocain
You gotta get gone
You gotta get goin'
Hey, the world ain't slowin' down for no one
It's a carnival calling out to you
It sounds like a song
It 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 slowin' down
Hey hey
You packed up all your handbags
Throwing off the sandbags
I let go when you stepped free
I didn't want to lose 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 southbound train
You gotta get gone
You gotta get goin'
Hey, the world ain't slowin' down for no one
It's a carnival calling out to you
It sounds like a song
It 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
We're ridin' on a big blue world
