Lyrics
Curtain closing on the day
Water in the bay begins to simmer
Slender lampposts start to sway
But it's just a minor tremor
You're headed for McGuinn's Caf�©
You feel you've earned a drink or two
Hear what the locals have to say
Maybe meet somebody new
Chorus:
You've been coming here for years now
But you've never met McGuinn
Nobody in here knows your name
But nonetheless, here you are again
Painted lions on the wall
Neon buzzing up above
Lava lamps and Persian rugs
Perfect place for finding love
Silver static in the air
Like the joint's about to blow
See that blue streak in her hair
And the tattooed dragon down below
Chorus
You make your move when it's your turn
Put on a smile that's copacetic
But then the earth begins to churn
And everything becomes frenetic
Bridge:
Hear the fire engines wail
See the smoke swallow the moon
Caf�© walls are shaking
Martini glasses breaking
Juke box playing "Clair de Lune"
Chorus
