Sting is not impressed |
I was walking around the store the other day... When the speakers overhead started pushing out King of Pain by The Police. Every time King of Pain starts I initially think it's going to be On Broadway and I'm in my head already feeling the magic in my air against the inside of my throat. I'm giving myself such an intimate concert while pushing my cart I can't believe a crowd hasn't encircled me, beating on cowbells and dancing. Then I hear it, the voice of Sting himself, relating the sunspot situation, and I'm always a little crushed. But I've been there before, inside the pouring rain, so I just sing along to the song by The Police, and curse myself for not knowing better by now. "Bye, Broadway," I wave sadly with a sniffle.
Somewhere out there, I know there has to be at least one other person like me, right?
Yes. 100%. I'm with you.
ReplyDeleteI haven't thought about this song in a very long time and how great it is. I would have been part of that crowd around you, girl, for sure. Cheering you on the entire time. But also hoping that you wouldn't be the king of pain for long. xo
