The World Aint Slowin Down — текст песни (Ellis Paul)

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)
