Ellis Paul - The World Ain't Slowin' Down lyrics

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 it's the one thing i hadn't been trying The train came in breathless The pa**enger's restless You say, "baby, you'll never change" (chorus) You gotta get gone You gotta get going Hey, the world ain't slowin' down For no one It's 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 Weren't you the kid Who just climbed on a merry-go-round Hey, look, the world ain't slowin' down Out on the sidewalk The pigeons do the moonwalk I'll be dancing like fred astaire The lampposts are rockin' The whole town is talking Like a fool in a barber's chair And i get the sensation It's 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 (chorus) You packed up all your handbags You're 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 south-bound train (chorus)
