Stephen Brunette - The Golden Cafe Way Lyrics

I got lost on a playa, lookin’ for the beach
I stumbled into The Golden Cafe just before I lost my feet
I met a cat named Calico, a light named Aphrodite
I musta looked like I needed some help, ‘cause they sure took good care of me
The Golden Cafe Way is where I am today
The Golden Cafe Way is where I wanna stay
But the Golden Cafe Way is to pack it all up, take it all outta here in a couple days
They say they leave no trace, hope I can find ‘em again someday
Rhythm keeps it in ‘em, BeBop wails, 140 beats the playa’s heart
Buffalo says he found his soul and leavin’ will be hard
Tikidaddy’s in the bar, pickin’ his guitar, playin’ with burners’ hearts
Maria is keepin’ us all alive with matzo balls and portobello tarts
The Golden Cafe Way is where I am today
The Golden Cafe Way is where I wanna stay
But the Golden Cafe Way is to pack it all up and take it all outta here in a couple days
They say they leave no trace, hope I can find ‘em again someday
Aphrodite is blowin’ bubbles, like she has somethin’ to say
But instead of puttin’ words out there
She puts bubbles out and lets ‘em disappear that way
Yeah, Aphrodite speaks in bubbles, guess that’s Aphrodite’s way
I could watch Aphrodite’s bubbles disappear that way all day
It’s The Golden Cafe Way, its where I am today
The Golden Cafe Way is where I wanna stay
But the Golden Cafe Way is to pack it all up, take it all outta here in a couple days
They say they leave no trace, hope I can find ‘em again someday
The golden people of The Golden Cafe are wanderin’ the desert again today
Pourin’ goldie’s grog for a thirsty mob, the whiskey whores and the black rock ballet
The golden people of the Golden Cafe will be wanderin’ the desert again tonight
If the man ever sets WiFi free you can see it all live via satellite
But for now, another whiteout ’s comin’, some say it’ll last all day
That’s OK, it’s nothin’ new to ride a whiteout out at the Golden Cafe
Rongo and Zee have tied the camp down tight with bungie cords and magic spells
The devil and his bartenders will tempt our souls with spirits they won’t sell
It’s the Golden Cafe Way, its where I am today
The Golden Cafe Way is where I wanna stay
But the Golden Cafe Way is to pack it all up, take it all outta here in a couple days
They say they leave no trace, hope I can find ‘em again someday
They say they leave no trace, hope I can find them again someday

I got lost on a playa, lookin’ for the beach
I stumbled into The Golden Cafe just before I lost my feet
I met a cat named Calico, a light named Aphrodite
I musta looked like I needed some help, ‘cause they sure took good care of me
