The World Ain't Slowin' Down(Live / 2000)

歌詞

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
