I lived at 10312 West 80th Drive at the time: The arrow and dot shows where I was rocking in the rocking chair repeatedly listening to that song. And the following show the window of which I was looking out.
The night before my ex-wife gave me a lecture on drinking too much and how there was "no fucking way she was going to date a guy who did nothing but drink." (her words) I didn't really drink at the time and said, "No Problem." After which she said she said we could go out more. After which we went to the Tivoli Brewing Company in downtown Denver and . . . well . . . got quite inebriated. Despite the hangover, I was really giddy that morning. And Don't Get Me Wrong reflected that wonderful feeling of new love.
Don't get me wrong
If I'm looking kind of dazzled
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by
Don't get me wrong
If you say hello and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
If I'm acting so distracted
I'm thinking about the fireworks
That go off when you smile
Don't get me wrong
If I split like light refracted
I'm only off to wander
Across a moonlit mile
Once in awhile
Two people meet
Seemingly for no reason
They just pass on the street
Suddenly thunder, showers everywhere
Who can explain the thunder and rain
But there's something in the air
Don't get me wrong
If I come and go like fashion
I might be great tomorrow
But hopeless yesterday
Don't get me wrong
If I fall in the 'mode of passion'
It might be unbelievable
But let's not say so long
It might just be fantastic
Don't get me wrong
