Center of the Universe
Holed up for years, got a yen to go dining
Found a place where I don’t have to think
A bit of Cheers and a bit of The Shining
They know your name and they hand you a drink
Climbed the stairs just to hear some live music
Bands from town or touring I5
Getting down and dancing to blues licks
All of a sudden we were feeling alive!
See you at the center of the universe
The drinks were cold and the music was hot
The fire was toasty and the couch very cozy
The nights were rosy, such a very sweet spot
Meet you at the center of the universe, watch the people come and go
Students and boomers, some gossip and rumors.
There’s no place so comfortable, that much I know.
Made some new friends, everything ends
Those days are gone, it’s hard to move on
(Those days are through, I’ll still look for you.)
Where do you go when you want some amusement
What do you do when you need to get out
Kick up your heels and order a meal
Where do you ponder what life’s all about
Who’s got your back when you’re down or you’re lonely
Found me a refuge in this fairy tale town
Looking for fun, not just one and only
Where will I find you the next time around?
See you at the center of the universe
The drinks were cold and the music was hot
The fire was toasty and the couch very cozy
The nights were rosy, such a very sweet spot
Meet you at the center of the universe, watch the people come and go
Students and boomers, some gossip and rumors.
There’s no place so comfortable, that much I know.
