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 passanger`s restless
You say, `Baby, you`ll never change`
You gotta get gone, you gotta get going
Hey, the world ain`t slowing down for no one
It`s a carnival callin out to you
It sounds like a song,
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 slowing down
Hey, hey, the world ain`t slowing down
Hey, hey...
Out on the sidewalk,
Pigeon`s do the moonwalk
I`ll be dancing like Fred Astaire
The lamppost`s are rockin,
The whole town`s talkin
Like a fool in a barber`s chair
And I get the sensation,
The joy and fustration
Like being caught by a tropical rain
Freedom can numb you,
When there`s no place to run to
It feels just like Novocane
You gotta get gone, you gotta get going
Hey the world ain`t slowin down for no one
It`s a carnival callin out to you
(it`s callin out to you)
It sounds like a song,
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 slowing down
Hey, hey...
You packed up all your handbags,
Throwing off the sandbags
I let go and you stepped free
I didn`t want to loose 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 south-bound train
You gotta get gone, you gotta get going
Hey the world ain`t slowin down for no one
It`s a carnival callin out to you
(it`s callin out to you)
It sounds like a song,
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
Ridin` on a big, blue world
