You Are Invited

I got it in the mail one morning

There was no return address

Just my name in gold leaf on the front

There was no time or location

There was really no info at all

No date, no place, no time, no RSVP

But it said, "You are invited

By anyone to do anything

You are invited for all time"

I didn't think much about it

It seemed like a really dumb joke

But later that week it was Friday, once again

So I took it down to a disco

That wouldn't have me in a million years

I flashed it once and I was inside with a drink

I really didn't stay too long there

Because no one was having much fun

I made my way to a party all the way across town

It was thrown by the friend of an ex-thing

I wasn't sure if I should go

But when I got up in the place, there were smiles all up and down

I grabbed my ex in the kitchen

I told her I was sorry I came

But she looked at me with a glazed smile and said

"You are invited

By anyone to do anything

You are invited for all time

You are so needed

By everyone to do everything

You are invited for all time"

I headed for home kinda early

The party wasn't all that great

I saw my neighbor out crying on his front porch

I stopped to see what his deal was

I didn't catch much through the sobs

Something about a party, and he didn't go

I thought about it for a second

With the invite in my hands

I threw it down at his feet and I said

"You are invited

By anyone to do anything

You are invited for all time

You are so needed

If you really wanna go

You are invited for all time"

For all time

For all time
