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 friends... Why? What'd you do?
|
|
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 "Anytime 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"... with a chuckle
|
|
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 "Anytime 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
|
