Invitation Please Lyrics

I don't believe that I can recall a night as black and dreary as this

Her footsteps echo from the end of the hall

And her whisper is as light as a kiss

On the back of the neck

Just a lover's peck

Sneaking up from behind

To complicate your mind

And set your heart at ease

Until you turn around and look at her face

She says you look a little bit out of place

The last time you left you didn't leave a trace

Can I see your invitation, please

I don't believe that there's a clock on the wall

That can tell me what time I should die

When the footsteps echo at the end of the hall

And convince you that you can't learn to fly

Into another time

A little salt and lime

To help you take this shot

Remind you, you forgot

To get up off your knees

Cause you've been begging at destiny's doorstep

It's obvious you've got a bad rep

And they ask you take one more step

And show your invitation please

Did it get lost in the mail?

Did you think it was junk?

Was it printed in Braille?

Were you totally drunk?

Did your dog chew it up?

Did you throw it away?

You'd better speak up or call it a day

You say you want in

But original sin has never been my expertise

If you want into my heart

Then you'd better start pulling out your invitation please

I don't believe that there's a tear in my heart

But it's leaking all over my chest

While the footsteps echo in the subway tonight

And tell me that I've got a guest

Whose been riding a train

Through the driving rain

Stringing up his guitar

In a topless bar

Where lovers freeze

Surrounded by sex and flirtation

Losing her imagination

The train is leaving the station

Where's your invitation please
