Virtual Party |
| 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… |
