A Sudden Place

Curl up, my little fish Red cellophane Curl up, my little fortune fish What will be my fate? Gold treasures in the ground Misfortune on the open sea Or wake up in a hotel In some foreign country? The world's a sudden place It turns on a dime And the night falls so suddenly Sometimes Such interesting times We say it like a joke Reminds me, even Notre Dame Can go up in smoke It can all go up in smoke The world's a sudden place It turns on a dime And the night falls so suddenly Sometimes A thousand miles, an hour it turns And it never slows I wonder we ain't hurled into space How folks hang on, I'll never know A thousand miles, an hour it turns And it never slows I wonder we ain't hurled into space How folks hang on, I'll never know The world's a sudden place It turns on a dime Night falls so suddenly Sometimes And the world's a sudden place It turns on a dime The world's a sudden place Sometimes The world's a sudden place The world's a sudden place
