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 a one thing I hadn´t been trying
The train came in breathless
The passengers restless
She said "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 carnival calling 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 slowin´ down
Hey, hey
Out on the sidewalk, pigeons do the moonwalk
I´ll be dancing like Fred Astaire
The lampposts are rockin´, the whole town is talkin´
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 novacain
You gotta get gone, you gotta get going
Hey, the world ain´t slowing down for no one
It´s carnival calling 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 slowin´ down
Hey, hey
You packed up all your handbangs
You´re throwing off the sandbags
I let go when you stepped free
I didn´t wanna lose you, you said
"You didn´t chose 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 slowing down for no one
It´s carnival calling out to you
It sounds like a song, hits you like scripture
You paint the picture with colors squeezed from you hand
Weren´t you the kid who just climbed on the merry go round?
Weren´t you the kid who just climbed on the merry go round?
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
