Allen Toussaint - Worldwide lyrics

Look at the man up in the steeple
Screaming out at all the sleeping people
Tally up, you better get yourself together
And have you noticed change in the weather?

(Been so long, so long, much too long)
Time to peel back the pages
(Time to peel back the pages)
Hurry up before we all go crazy
(Hurry up before we all go crazy)
(Been so long, so long, much too long)
Don't it make you kinda
Wonder who you trusted?
The biggest wheels in town are getting busted
(All right now)

Too soon we think and go too much
Too soon we wanna play
And why we let the best
Of the greatest slip away

Look at the man up in the steeple
(Worldwide, worldwide)
Screaming out at all the lonely people
(Pick it up, set it back down)
(Been too long, too long, much too long)
Tally up you better get yourself together
(Look up in the sky)
Have you noticed change in the weather?
(Don’t you wonder why?, All right now)

(Been so long, so long, much too long)
Time has come to peel the pages
(Time has come to peel the pages)
Hurry up before we all go crazy (Worldwide)
Don't it make you kinda
Wonder who you trusted?
(Pick it up, set it back down)
The biggest wheels in town are getting busted
(Worldwide)

Been so long, so long, much too long
(Worldwide, worldwide)
Just getting right down to the bone
(Worldwide)
Been so long, so long, much too long
(Worldwide, worldwide)
Just getting right down to the bone
(Worldwide)
