Artist/Band: The Tragically Hip
Lyrics for Song: Escape Is At Hand For The Travellin' Man
Lyrics for Album: Yer Favourites/Hipeponymous [2005]



It was our third time in New York

it was your fourth time in New York

we were fifth and sixth on the bill

we talk a little about our bands talk a little of our future plans

it's not like we were best of friends



that number scheme comes back to me

in times beyond our heartbeat



We hung around til the final band

called 'Escape is at Hand for the Travellin' Man'

you yelled in my ear this music speaks to me

they launched into 'Lonely From Rock n Roll'

followed by 'They Checked Out An Hour Ago'

closing with 'All Desires Turn Concrete'



those melodies come back to me

at times beyond our heartbeat



I guess I'm too slow yes I'm too, yes I'm too slow

but you said anytime of the day was fine

you said any time of the night was also fine



I walked through your revolving door

got no answer on the seventh floor

elevator gave a low moan

the pigeons sagged the wire with their weight

listening to the singing chambermaid

she sang 'They Checked Out an Hour Ago'



Those melodies come back to me

in times beyond our heartbeat



I guess I'm too slow yes I'm too, yes I'm too slow

but you said anytime of the day was fine

you said any time of the night was also fine

our heartbeat, our heartbeat our heartbeat



long conversation idle chit-chat

maybe dive in or maybe hang back

idle conversation or idle chit-chat

maybe dive in or maybe hang back
