The World Ain`t Slowin` Down Lyrics

I found you sitting on a suitcase crying
Beneath my feet I feel the rumble of a subway train
And I laugh out loud
ëCause it`s the one thing I hadn`t been trying
The train came in breathless
The passenger`s restless
You say, "Baby, you`ll never change"

(chorus)
You gotta get gone
You gotta get going
Hey, the world ain`t slowin` down
For no one
It`s a carnival calling out to you
And 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 a merry-go-round
Hey, look, the world ain`t slowin` down
Out on the sidewalk
The pigeons do the moonwalk
I`ll be dancing like Fred Astaire
The lampposts are rockin`
The whole town is talking
Like a fool in a barber`s chair
And I get the sensation
It`s 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
(chorus)
You packed up all your handbags
You`re 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 south-bound train
(chorus)
