Ellis Paul - World Ain't Slowin' Down Lyrics
I found you sitting on a suitcase cryingBeneath my feet I feel the rumble of a subway trainAnd I laugh out loud?Cause it's the one thing I hadn't been tryingThe train came in breathlessThe passenger's restlessYou say, "Baby, you'll never change"[chorus]You gotta get goneYou gotta get goingHey, the world ain't slowin' downFor no oneIt's a carnival calling out to youAnd it sounds like a songIt hits you like scriptureYou paint the pictureWith colors squeezed from your handWeren't you the kidWho just climbed on a merry-go-roundHey, look, the world ain't slowin' downOut on the sidewalkThe pigeons do the moonwalkI'll be dancing like Fred AstaireThe lampposts are rockin'The whole town is talkingLike a fool in a barber's chairAnd I get the sensationIt's joy and frustrationLike getting caught by a drop of cold rainFreedom can numb youWhen there's no place to run toIt feels just like Novocain[chorus]You packed up all your handbagsYou're throwing off the sandbagsI let go when you stepped freeI didn't want to lose youYou said, "You didn't choose to -- It's just how your karma came"But thanks for the vision,And the twenty-twenty wisdomIt hit me like a south-bound train[chorus]
