The World Ain't Slowin' Down (Me, Myself & Irene OST)
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
