and he was planning on sleeping in the van that night in the cold
Paul and I invited him up to our room to stay and he did
we never saw him again
we heard he died a few years ago
and wrote this song
it's our third time in New York
your fourth time in New York
we were fifth, sixth on the bill
we talked a little
about your van
we talked a little about your future plans
[C#m] it's not like we were [E] best friends
[A] [E] the numbers [F#m] game comes back to [A] me
the times [F#] they aren't [E] fair
we hung around till the final band
their pole escape is at hand
the traveling man
you yelled in my ear
this music speaks to me
as they launched into lonely
from rock and roll
on the bath they checked out
[G#m] an hour ago
[C#m] closing with all [E] desires turned concrete
[A]
those melodies
[F#m] [A] come back to me
the times [F#m] they aren't [B] fair
we hung [E] around till the final band
[B] the times they aren't fair
we hung around till the final band
[E] yes I do
so you [A] said
it [C#m] one day
[B] [A] you said it
in time [C#m] for one [E] long
line
I walked through your revolving door
got no answer
up in 704 the elevator
gave a long haul the pigeon
sacked the wire with their weight
listening to the singing
the pigeon dreamed of me
as she sang they checked out
an hour ago
the melodies
[F#m] used to [A] be tiny
[B] [E] too slow
[B] yes I do
yes [E] I do
[A] any tiny [C#m] [B]
