I found you sittin' 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 passengers restless She said, baby you'll never change You gotta get going, 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, it hits ya like Scritcher You paint the picture with colors squeezed from her hair Weren't you the kid who just climbed on the merry-go-round? Hey look, the world ain't slowing down The world ain't slowing down Out on the sidewalk, pigeons to the moonwalk I'll be dancing like Fred Astaire The lampposts are rockin', the whole town's talkin' Like a fool in a barber's chair And I get this sensation of joy and frustration Like being caught by a tropical rain A freedom can numb ya when there's no place to run to It feels just like no vacation You gotta get going, 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, it hits ya like Scritcher You paint the picture with colors squeezed from her hair Weren't you the kid who just climbed on the merry-go-round? Hey look, the world ain't slowing down The world ain't slowing down Hey, hey, hey You packed up all your handbags Throwin' off the sandbag I let go when you stepped free I didn't wanna lose ya, you said you didn't choose to It's just how your karma came But thanks for the vision and the 2020 wisdom It hit me like a southbound train You gotta get going, 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, it hits ya like Scritcher You paint the picture with colors squeezed from your hair Weren't you the kid who just climbed on the merry-go-round? Hey look, the world ain't slowing down Hey, hey, hey The world ain't slowing down Hey, hey, hey It's a big blue world It's a big blue world We're ridin' on a big blue world
