“‘87: At The Pyramid” is another song concerning young Merritt’s nightclub life. Unlike “‘84: Danceteria!”, this song’s lyrics consist entirely of the recollection of one exact memory, concerning an attractive man he encountered there (Merritt is openly gay).
’87 At the Pyramid Lyrics
[Chorus]
I saw you at the Pyramid
Disco all around you
You danced into my dream world
[Verse 1]
Bleach blond with caterpillar eyes
Rugby shirt like a bumble bee
A shy-boy smile, dimples for days
Destined never to notice me
[Chorus]
I saw you at the Pyramid
Disco all around you
You danced into my dream world
[Verse 2]

But what's your name? Guess I'll never know
Your face was burned into my eyes
By strobe lights half my life ago
[Chorus]
I saw you at the Pyramid
Disco all around you
You danced into my dreamworld
