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
