The Tragically Hip Silver Jet Lyrics

there's a still in the night
a tuneless moonlight
just the i-need-you-and-here's-why's of
snoring Gords and Cheryls

there's a heron outside
in violet light
there's an urge to go, a shadow
a heightened air of peril

your heart jumps to
and my heart jumps too
i think to myself "I don't really know my heart"
and as you whisper 'me too'

a silver jet roars overhead
rocks the nocturne all everglade and grey sheers
silver jet, so far off already
fought the hotspurs off all the way to Cape Spear

it's quiet again
when a car like Big Ben
it's radio dopplerin'
'...and for all you Gregory Peck fans"

Let Us Now Praise Famous Men
to take some pressure off
all the wonderous to fight

your heart jumps to
and my heart jumps too
as if the Wolves of Northhumberland themselves
were rumoured to be en route

silver jet, way overhead
yer an archipelago, a satllite, a green star
silver jet, so far off already
I-need-you-and-here's-why flying to the next part

your heart jumps to
and my heart jumps too
I'm thinking to myself, 'packing is a secret art'
and as you whisper, 'me too'

silver jet roars overhead
silver jet flying to the next part
silver jet so far off already
silver jet, a satellite, a green star

silver jet way overhead
silver jet evergladed grey sheers
silver jet, so far off already
silver jet Clayqout sound to Cape Spear
