Escape Is At Hand For The Travellin' Man

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 

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' 

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
