Lyrics

[00:15.730] I found you sitting on a suitcase crying
[00:22.650] Beneath my feet I feel the rumble of a subway train
[00:30.670] And I laugh out loud
[00:32.320] Cause it's the one thing I hadn't been trying
[00:38.750] The train came in breathless
[00:40.700] The passenger's restless
[00:42.650] You say, "Baby, you'll never change"
[00:45.800] You gotta get gone
[00:47.810] You gotta get going
[00:50.370] Hey, the world ain't slowin' down
[00:54.130] For no one
[00:55.830] It's a carnival calling out to you
[01:01.930] And it sounds like a song
[01:03.970] It hits you like scripture
[01:06.360] You paint the picture
[01:07.950] With colors squeezed from your hand
[01:11.190] Weren't you the kid
[01:12.790] Who just climbed on a merry-go-round
[01:16.570] Hey, look, the world ain't slowin' down
[01:23.420] Hey~
[01:25.190] The world ain't slowin' down
[01:30.770] Hey~
[01:35.360] Out on the sidewalk
[01:37.380] The pigeons do the moonwalk
[01:39.150] I'll be dancing like Fred Astaire
[01:43.240] The lampposts are rockin'
[01:45.230] The whole town is talking
[01:46.950] Like a fool in a barber's chair
[01:51.190] And I get the sensation
[01:53.440] It's joy and frustration
[01:55.100] Like getting caught by a drop of cold rain
[01:59.440] Freedom can numb you
[02:01.500] When there's no place to run to
[02:03.510] It feels just like Novocain
[02:06.760] You gotta get gone
[02:08.490] You gotta get going
[02:11.080] Hey, the world ain't slowin' down
[02:14.720] For no one
[02:16.260] It's a carnival calling out to you
[02:22.650] And it sounds like a song
[02:24.580] It hits you like scripture
[02:26.620] You paint the picture
[02:28.580] With colors squeezed from your hand
[02:31.950] Weren't you the kid
[02:33.430] Who just climbed on a merry-go-round
[02:37.240] Hey, look, the world ain't slowin' down
[02:43.310] Hey~
[02:45.830] The world ain't slowin' down
[02:51.360] Hey~
[03:00.260] You packed up all your handbags
[03:04.820] You're throwing off the sandbags
[03:09.100] I let go when you stepped free
[03:15.620] I didn't want to lose you
[03:17.440] You said, "You didn't choose
[03:19.500] It's just how your karma came"
[03:23.420] But thanks for the vision,
[03:25.430] And the twenty-twenty wisdom
[03:27.840] It hit me like a south-bound train
[03:30.670] You gotta get gone
[03:32.520] You gotta get going
[03:35.100] Hey, the world ain't slowin' down
[03:38.450] For no one
[03:40.280] It's a carnival calling out to you
[03:46.610] And it sounds like a song
[03:48.640] It hits you like scripture
[03:50.740] You paint the picture
[03:53.140] With colors squeezed from your hand
[03:55.680] Weren't you the kid
[03:57.530] Who just climbed on a merry-go
[04:00.000] Weren't you the kid
[04:01.860] Who just climbed on a merry-go
[04:03.790] Weren't you the kid
[04:05.430] Who just climbed on a merry-go-round
[04:09.120] Hey, look, the world ain't slowin' down
[04:15.660] Hey~
[04:17.900] The world ain't slowin' down
[04:23.700] Hey~
[04:26.700] It's a big blue world
[04:30.700] It's a big blue world
[04:34.700] Ridin' on a big, blue world
