Long Time Running - The Tragically Hip

Does your mother tell you things?

Long, long when I'm gone?

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, he 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 boat-load o'nerve

But I would say you've been told

You work me against my friends

And 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
