Bar Song from Float by Michelle McAfee
The last night in the studio after recording the rhythm section on this album, Jeremy took me to Dig A Pony in Portland. It was my first time in a Hipster bar. Culture shock. The song is me scanning the room as we stood there waiting for his girlfriend to arrive.

Lyrics
The shipwrecked walls are banging 'Paul Revere'
Bumping in the dark
And the lights are like balloons floating electric
Up above the bar
Jeans are skinny
And everyone looks like everyone else
And the guy in the orange hat walking sideways
Could use some help
We're all in our own little world at the corner after dark
Standing around with our stereoscopic hearts
Leaving me
Tragically unalone
You lean against the wall with your eyes on the door
Hoping she'll come
While I'm blissed out glowing with my head rolling
Full of bass and drums
The bartender's shakin', pouring her another Mojito
And the six foot two bearded dude is trying really hard
To take her home
We're all in our own little world at the corner after dark
Standing around with our stereoscopic hearts
Leaving me
Tragically unalone
