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 am million years
I flashed it once and
I was inside with a drink

I really didn't stay too long there
'Cause 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 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 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 couldn't catch much through the sobs
Something about a party
And he didn't go

I thought about it for a second
The invite in my hand
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 want to go
You are invited for all time

For all time
