The Outta Sight Righteous Groovy Scene From Last Nights Dream

The club looked and sounded like the sort of club
I'd only ever seen and heard in bad mid-'60's movies
Made hurriedly on a shoestring budget, designed to capture The zeitgeist of whatever moment the kids were caught up in 
And rake in a nice little pile of cash

Music that sounded similar to what was popular then
But was just not quite what was actually on the radio
Played loudly in the background
Jangly guitars with lots of reverb and echo
Semi-serious socially conscious lyrics with a chorus

Women wearing knee-high white vinyl boots
Short dresses or miniskirts draped with fringe
That shimmied and swirled as the girls
Shaked and swayed their hips and pursed their lips
Dancing in cages suspended from the ceiling

Lights coated the walls with brightly colored lava flows
That undulated in time to the music
Supposedly being performed by the band onstage
Fronted by a lanky long-haired singer in a leather vest
Slapping a tambourine while singing into an unplugged mic

It's a touch odd to wake up from a dream
In which you are singing along to a song
About having had too much to dream
Last night
