The Tragically Hip Long Time Running Lyrics

does your mother tell you things
long, long when i'm gone?
then who you talking to?
is she telling you i'm the one?

it's a grave mistake
and i'm wide awake

drive-in's rained out
weatherman wet-fingers the sky
he pokes it out, pulls it in
he don't know why

it's the same mistake

it's been a long time running
it's been a long time coming
it's well worth the wait

we don't go anywhere
just on trips
we haven't seen a thing
we still don't know where it is

it's a safe mistake

it's been a long time running
it's been a long time coming

well, well it's all the same mistake
dead to rights and wide awake
i'll drop a caribou, i'll tell on you
i'll tell on you, i'll tell on you

you've got a boatload of nerve
i would say you've been told
you work me against my friends
and you'll get, you'll get left out in the cold

it's the same mistake

it's been a long time running
it's been a long time coming
it's been a long, long, long time running
it's well worth the wait

it's well worth the wait
it's well worth the wait
it's well worth the wait
