The World Ain't Slowin' Down
Song by one of the most brilliant voices of the 90s Ellis Paul
Featured in the movie; ' Me myself and Irene'
… 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 passenger'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 frustration
Like being caught by a tropical rain
Freedom can numb you,
When there's no place to run to
It feels just like Novocaine
… 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
