The world ain't slowin' down


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 its the one thing I hadnt been trying
The train came in breathless
The passengers restless
You say, baby, youll never change

(chorus)
You gotta get gone
You gotta get going
Hey, the world aint slowin down
For no one

Its 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
Werent you the kid
Who just climbed on a merry-go-round
Hey, look, the world aint slowin down

Out on the sidewalk
The pigeons do the moonwalk
Ill be dancing like fred astaire
The lampposts are rockin
The whole town is talking
Like a fool in a barbers chair
And I get the sensation
Its joy and frustration
Like getting caught by a drop of cold rain
Freedom can numb you
When theres no place to run to
It feels just like novocain

(chorus)

You packed up all your handbags
Youre throwing off the sandbags
I let go when you stepped free
I didnt want to lose you
You said, you didnt choose to --
Its just how your karma came
But thanks for the vision,
And the twenty-twenty wisdom
It hit me like a south-bound train

(chorus)

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Ellis Paul is an American singer-songwriter and folk musician. Born in Presque Isle, Aroostook County, Maine, Paul is a key figure in what has become known as the Boston school of songwriting, a literate, provocative, and urbanely romantic folk-pop style that helped ignite the folk revival of the 1990s. His pop music songs have appeared in movies and on television, bridging the gap between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger.
