Chagrin Falls - The Tragically Hip

By design, by neglect

For a fact or just for effect

When they met, where they connect

At the confluence of travel and sex

More a trip than a quest

Plunged into the deeply freckled breast

Where to now?

If I had to guess

I’m afraid to say Antarctica’s next

Or Chagrin Falls, Ohio

Where the unknown won’t even go

To Chagrin Falls, Ohio

Where the unknown don’t even go

Home’s solitude with options

Artificial chaos isn’t one of them

Return there crestfallen

Chagrin fell out of her apron

No profound sound, no special effects

The continent tipped and she just quietly left

Chagrin falls on our heads

Not in a gush but in maddening droplets

Chagrin falls (in Chagrin Falls, Ohio)

Chagrin Falls (where the unknown don’t even go)

Chagrin falls (in Chagrin Falls, Ohio)

So falls Chagrin Falls (where the unknown don’t even go)

So falls Chagrin Falls

So falls Chagrin Falls
