a lovely little spot on the corner of a busy city street
lights would change and the cars would cross
as the full moon lights up the cloudy sky
and as the wind blows through the threads of my hair
I wasn't ready for what was ahead of me this night
A fun gray, black, red swirly tie against a red shirt attracted my eye
[I couldn't help but ask where he purchased it...]
greeted us with a smile, he led us upstairs to the Purple Bar
taking that last step, I just moved into the metro area
the vibe was different, the atmosphere was classy...it was sheek
I feathered my broom dress out as I sat down on the wooden seat
I couldn't help but just observe the Purple Bar
one large thick neon strip of light beams down across the ceiling
green, blue, purple, green, blue, purple, green, blue, purple, green...
I watched the colors change as the two man band played
I turned around looking through the large window wall
it displays the small city within the city
he sang as I watched the lights flicker off the skyscrappers
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry, you don't know how lovely you are
I turned back around... grinned as the Coldplay lyrics play through my ears
and gave a toast to a friend that was celebrating her day of birth
I started to think
I started to observe
the colorful light fixtures hanging above the bar had an interesting paint splash of black
fancy martini glasses filled with a pretty pink mixed drink
Her green plastic watering can. For her fake plastic Chinese rubber plant. In the fake plastic earth.
I looked at the pianist and noticed he wasn't singing
as he taps his drumsticks, he sings Radiohead quietly in the mic
I smiled ...
because I finally realized...
what I was wondering
and what I was missing on
was another you...from somewhere else
