peter paul mary - virtual party (live) lyrics
it’s 11 o’clock in the evening – i’m barefoot –
and i’m logged-on to the internet.
i usually pickup my e-mail in the afternoon
but on weekends sometimes i forget…
i yell down the hall to the bedroom, “honey, i’ll be right there…”
she says “that’s ok, dear, i got a brand new book here and
i’m not going anywhere”.
a funny thing about a couple when a couple of years’ve gone by.
you don’t talk; you think you know each other so well you don’t have to try…
you take for granted what you used to call enchanted just a while ago…
ah.when does a mystery turn into history?
i don’t know…
anyway, i got another meg of data coming down the line;
a wall street profile… spreadsheet from a friend of mine…
up on the screen pops a little green box says ‘click on me’.
somewhere i swear alice in wonderland’s callin’…
i look up at the clock (not as late as i thought: only quarter to one).
download’s finished, i could take five minutes and have me some fun.
the invitation’s from a web location in hong kong.
it’s already started, this virtual party runs all night long!
i say all night?
we’re invited to a virtual party tonight…(you try it)
you’re invited to a virtual party tonight…
there’s computers in the microwave, computers in the automobile, computers in the phone.
oh and even my wife who used to tell me to ‘get a life’
has got a computer of her own.
i spend so much time saving time i can’t find any time to spend …
i’ve taped sixteen episodes of “star trek” but when am i gonna show them?!
it’s un-believable, must be sixty, seventy people here at the party site.
icons, avatars, images of movie stars surfing tonight…
well i’m looking for a chat when i get a note that
says ‘ya wanna go… to a place more private? i kinda think you’ll like it…’
i say ‘i… yi…’
she says her name is ‘mata hari’ and that she’s particularly fond of older men…
well maybe so, maybe not, maybe she’s a guy that’s got this urge to pretend…
and then it occurs to me, i don’t need this fantasy…
after all, everything i’d be looking for, i’ve got and even more,
sleeping at the end of the hall…
i shut down the box, still it’s three o’clock by the time i get to bed…
i lift up the covers; snuggle next to my lover; find a note there instead…
it says “the book was dumb, logged on, found a message from hong kong…
for a virtual party (i’m goin’ as ‘mata hari’) may be all night long…”
i say all night?
oh, oh, you’re invited to a virtual party tonight…
(what did you say now…?)
oh, oh, you’re invited to a virtual party tonight…
(one more time now)
oh, oh, you’re invited to a virtual party tonight…
(one more one more one more)
ready or not here comes the 21st century
you’re invited to a virtual party tonight…array
