	Story Behind the Song One of three songs written specifically about the cofeehouse scene. Picture the heckler and the lack of attention paid to the guy on stage. Lyrics In the corner a poet sang from his heart Around him the clouds barroom steam What flowed from his lips could change the whole world And uplift those who would hear it And the jester kept up in his usual way The point of the poet interrupted again Which happens most frequently when one's to be made Twenty onlookers sat staring astray Only five understood what was happening One bowed his head into a book All but giving up for the sake of the time Another walked out and erased from his mind The sight that he'd seen shut behind him One in the back waived down a waiter He'll forget before long, bring me another And the two left remained alone beside A shelf of books and window blinds For what's outside doesn't count While watching the play unfold around and the jester kept up in his usual way The point of the poet interrupted again Which happens most frequently when one's to be made While outside in the car the first meeting adjourned Of the free thinking pessismists uplifitng For it's not anti-social if there's more than one And there was seating for five in this auditorium They spoke of the world and then what was real Avoiding confusion of persuading ideals And never discussing the plot hole on how they came to be here For here they could hide from the jester and wouldn't be interrupted
