Escape Is At Hand For The Travellin' Man Lyrics - Yer Favourites (international Version) - Tragically Hip

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
