Lyrics

The second show was getting out and there was no time to think
A brief encounter with a family van and a man who shouldn't drink
All along the Avenue people turned their heads to stare
At Portage and Main standing in the rain trying hard to care

But nobody promised it would all work out right
Whoever said things stay the same
Whatever happened to the days of black and white
Somewhere in Canada it's another hockey night

Ol' Miss Rigby's countin' change tryin' to make ends meet
In a small apartment up a flight o' stairs from the danger in the street
There's a constant flicker in the dark from her television friend
While in Old Montreal Cinderella's at the ball and the party never ends

Jesus saves but Keon makes the rebound and 50 beers
And 50 beers go crashing to the floor
In the Ladies and Escorts of the Albion Hotel
I've been watching the game but don't ask me the score

The winds blow cold 'round the towers of gold and the pavement canyons yawn
The kings and queens of commerce burn their midnight oil trying to buy up the dawn
But somethings still are not for sale no matter how we try
And somewhere in the West there's music in the air where the mountains meet the sky
