Lyrics The Tragically Hip – Take Forever

Whenever a man, whenever a man
Tries to be more like a machine
He breaks down, when I broke down
I always thought I’d go to Calgary

I am, I am, I am, I am in that chair
Hurtling through space
Five hundred hundred miles an hour
And, baby, it could take
Forever
Baby, it could take
Forever

I am, I am
The red light cutting through the clouds
Roar in, I land
All the secrets hide and come back out

I am, I am, I am, I am in that chair
Destroying all space
These are not good hours
And, baby, it could take
Forever
Baby, it could take
Forever

Calgary, to have my heart attack
Calgary, the place to do it, it’s a fact
I’m homing in on your broken glow
If you’re hurting, no one would ever know

I am, I am, I am, I am in that chair
Hurtling through space
These are not good hours
And, baby, it could take

Baby, it could take
Baby, it could take
Baby, you could take
Forever
