A Sudden Place

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
The world's a sudden place
It turns on a dime
And the night falls so suddenly
Sometimes

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
The world's a sudden place
It turns on a dime
And the night falls so suddenly
Sometimes

[Bridge]
A thousand miles, an hour it turns
And it never slows
A 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
A wonder we ain't hurled into space
How folks hang on
I'll never know

[Chorus]
The world's a sudden place
It turns on a dime
Night falls so suddenly
Sometimes

[Post-Chorus]
The world's a sudden place
It turns on a dime
The world's a sudden place
Sometimes

[Outro]
The world's a sudden place
The world's a sudden place
