Me Myself & Irene movie - The World Ain't Slowin' Down lyrics

rate me

Song by Ellis Paul<br /><br>

I found you sitting on a suitcase crying<br>

Beneath my feet I feel the rumble of a subway train<br>

And I laugh out loud<br>

?Cause it's the one thing I hadn't been trying<br>

The train came in breathless<br>

The passenger's restless<br>

You say, "Baby, you'll never change"<br>

<br>

[chorus]<br>

You gotta get gone<br>

You gotta get going<br>

Hey, the world ain't slowin' down<br>

For no one<br>

<br>

It's a carnival calling out to you<br>

And it sounds like a song<br>

It hits you like scripture<br>

You paint the picture<br>

With colors squeezed from your hand<br>

Weren't you the kid<br>

Who just climbed on a merry-go-round<br>

Hey, look, the world ain't slowin' down<br>

<br>

Out on the sidewalk<br>

The pigeons do the moonwalk<br>

I'll be dancing like Fred Astaire<br>

The lampposts are rockin'<br>

The whole town is talking<br>

Like a fool in a barber's chair<br>

And I get the sensation<br>

It's joy and frustration<br>

Like getting caught by a drop of cold rain<br>

Freedom can numb you<br>

When there's no place to run to<br>

It feels just like Novocain<br>

<br>

[chorus]<br>

<br>

You packed up all your handbags<br>

You're throwing off the sandbags<br>

I let go when you stepped free<br>

I didn't want to lose you<br>

You said, "You didn't choose to -- <br>

It's just how your karma came"<br>

But thanks for the vision,<br>

And the twenty-twenty wisdom<br>

It hit me like a south-bound train<br>

<br>

[chorus]<br>

<br>
