lyrics

I was walking into town, just looking all around
Following my feet, as they took me up and down
The High Street was empty, but I heard a groovy sound
A keyboard player at the edge of town
Come inside the bar, Come inside the bar
Coming from the bar at the edge of town

In the Designated Smoking Area
In the Designated Smoking Area
Low rider you’re an insider
Low rider you’re a real outsider

When I went in to that room I felt it coming way to soon
The smoke got in my eyes, and my head it double-sized
When the band began to play, a tune I recognized
Purple Haze honey! These locals … they are strange!

In the Designated Smoking Area
In the Designated Smoking Area
In the Designated Smoking Area
In the Designated Smoking Area

I go to get some air walked to down to the pier
I stared out at the sea, it was staring back at me
I spoke to the penguins about the Green Mist
They didn’t get the picture but they really got the gist

In the Designated Smoking Area, in the Designated Smoking Area
There’s Edith Piaf and Oscar Wilde, Groucho Marx with his bug-eyed child
The gypsies and the jokers, the vapers and the tokers
They’re all real hippies, they’re all real smokers
In the designated smoking area
In the designated smoking area
Low rider you’re an insider
Low rider you’re a real outsider
