Mark Vreeken - Escape Is at Hand for the Travellin' Man lyrics

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 Why, what did we do? That number scheme comes back to me In times beyond our heartbeat We hung around till the final band Called "Escape Is At Hand For The Travelling Man" You yelled in my ear this music speaks to me They launched into "Lonely From Rock And 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 You said any time 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" I kind of chuckled 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 You said any time of the day was fine You said any time of the night was also fine Our heartbeat, our heartbeat, our heartbeat Long conversation or idle chit chat Maybe dive in or maybe hang back Idle conversation or idle chit chat Maybe dive in or maybe hang back
