tragically hip - evelyn lyrics
i want you all to celebrate
i had to shed my beat-up skin
i? ve been waiting for this day
i choose my weapon and begin
i had to get out of here for my evelyn (my evelyn)
seems like forever (uh-huh) i? ve been struggling with rhymes
i can? t pretend that it don? t affect me
check me, in the darkest pitch of night
ooh, it keeps me up, i say my goodbye
i can? t guess how many (no no no)
will claim that they knew me so well
seems like i? ve been here, stayed here, right here
but there? s no way for me to tell
ooh, i heard the familiar word, my goodbye
i want you all to have a drink
it was nothing that you said
i had all kinds of time to think
my heart convinced my empty head
i had to get out of here for my evelyn (my evelyn)
can? t live my life as a blurry mirage
thought barrage made my head a psychological garage
and she? s out there, i love her to death
the deepest breath ain? t deep enough to see the thoughts that she can put in my head
mental exposure, things i said at 2 a.m.
i know it? s over
i know my brother loved his homey ben
so your turn, man, this i let you flow on one more beat
i make it shine and i? ll see you when i live on your street
this is my path now
i had to split town and do it fast now
i p-ssed out and woke up with a whole new rationale
i kept it to myself, you couldn? t accept it
so i left it alone and let it roll on my records
these are the airwaves of evelyn
see, everything ends
it just takes a little longer
don? t forget i? m your friend
and i? ll remember everything live
i? m no pretender
i know she? s getting every single message that i send her
i want you all to celebrate
i had to shed my beat-up skin
i? ve been waiting for this day
i choose my weapon and begin
i had to get out of here for my evelyn (my evelyn)
it seems like forever (oo-oo-ooh)
i? ve had trouble on my soul
i made a promise this time to let my words speak
let them take control
ooh, i don? t want to starve no more
my goodbye
i want you all to have a drink
it was nothing that you said
i had all kinds of time to think
my heart convinced my empty head
i had to get out of here for my evelyn (my evelyn)
