Invitation to a Fight

The band was softly playing and sawdust was on the floor

I had received my invitation just a few moments before

No need for an RSVP because attendance is required

No need to wear a three piece suit, come as you’re attired

No standing in the back playing wallflower tonight

You’re the honored guest, and you’ll be in the light

You will dance tonight whether you know how or not

I’ve just one suggestion, give it everything you’ve got

Boldly face your partner, and watch their every move

Try and feel the rhythm, and get into the groove

Meet head to head, toe to toe, cast off all your fear

The invitation to a fight is your only purpose here.
