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
