Visions of seeing Nirvana
At the Paramount back in '91
Maybe catch Pearl Jam in '93
I dreamt of all these things
I saw on MTV
It took me over 20 years to reach the Evergreen State
Even though the time had passed
I didn't care
I dreamt of going to Seattle to see my favourite bands
When I got there it was Seattle Pride
Instead I went to see Cher and Cyndi Lauper
Seattle Center full of joy
Not the sadness I recall in '94
When people gathered to say goodbye
I swear my world had changed by 1995
Logging trucks on Mercer Street
Bus rides to Denny Blaine
Walking to Gasworks Park
Passing Fremont Troll
I dreamt of going to Seattle to see my favourite bands
When I got there it was Seattle Pride
Instead I went to see Cher and Cyndi Lauper
