The pigeons sagged the wire with their weight
Elevator gave a low moan
We were fifth and sixth on the bill
"Escape is at hand for the travellin' man"
I guess I'm too slow, yes, I'm too, yes, I'm too slow
Listening to the singing chambermaid
Those melodies come back to me
Long conversation, idle chit-chat
Followed by, "They checked out an hour ago"
But you said anytime of the day was fine
In times beyond our heartbeat
We hung around 'til the final band called
Maybe dive in or maybe hang back
You yelled in my ear, this music speaks to me
I walked through your revolving door
Our heartbeat, our heartbeat, our heartbeat
We talk a little about our bands
At times beyond our heartbeat
Closing with, "All desires turn concrete"
She sang, "They checked out an hour ago"
But you said anytime of the day was fine
You said anytime of the night was also fine
It's not like we were best friends
Got no answer on the seventh floor
That number scheme comes back to me
Idle conversation or idle chit-chat
Talk a little of our future plans
You said anytime of the night was also fine
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
They launched into, "Lonely from rock 'n roll"
