Lyrics The Tragically Hip

The Tragically Hip

Looking For A Place To Happen

I've got a job, I explore, I follow every little whiff

And I want my life to smell like this

To find a place, ancient race, the kind you'd like to gamble with

Where they'd stamp on burning bags of shit

Lookin' for a place to happen, makin' stops along the way

Wayward, away we go, it's a shame to leave this masterpiece

With it's gallery gods and it's garbage-bag trees

So I'll paint a scene from memory, so I'd know who murdered me

It's a vain pursuit but it helps me sleep

Lookin' for a place to happen, makin' stops along the way

Lookin' for a place to happen, makin' stops along the way

Lookin' for a place to happen, makin' stops along the way

Jacques Cartier, right this way, I'll put your coat up on the bed

Hey man, you've got a real bum's eye for clothes

And come on in, sit right down, no you're not the first to show

We've all been here since, God, who knows

Lookin' for a place to happen, makin' stops along the way

Lookin' for a place to happen, makin' stops along the way

Jacques Cartier, right this way, I'll put your coat up on the bed

You've got a real bum's eye for clothes

Come on in, sit right down

We've all been here since, God, who knows
