From the recording Journey's
Lyrics
"The Bar"
(Lyrics: M. Novak, M. Sass - Music M. Novak)
Sitting at the bar before the band begins to play
I am going to unwind from a very stressful day
Looking at the crowd it’s an eclectic mix
Everyone will use their best pickup tricks
There’s a drunk, and a business man a cute little tease
The tough guy and the little man who always wants to please
They all seek a connection to get what they dream
Some of it’s real but most of it’s a scheme
CHORUS:
The Bar - where you can be someone new
The Bar - where your story doesn’t have to be true
The Bar - where you meet your friends
The Bar - where reality mostly bends
The band starts rockin’ conversations hard to hear
The waitress comes by with another round of beer
The singer steps up he thinks he is the world
He thinks he’s the king but does he get the girl
There’s a bouncer at the door he’s there keep the peace
Whoever gets out of line ends up in the street
Closing time is looming last chance for the dream
Everything is twisted and not quite what it seems
CHORUS:
With all the patrons gone the lights come on
Empty drinks on the tables fantasy is gone
There is always another night to try our luck again
We’ll come back to the wheel of fate and give it another spin
CHORUS:
