Hemenway Variety - Dr. Dawn Lyrics

My dentist invited me to a tea party
With all of her toothy friends
It's on the 29th of February
Don't want to miss how this party ends
My clock hits 29 the time is here
I lace up my boots and gloves
Dr. Dawn called up right as I'm near
Without me they can't start the love

Welcome to the party
Where everybody's talking
Everybody's happy
Who the hell invited you

Handshakes and hugs from all these faces
Two or three that I have met
I tripped over a man's untied shoelace
But I hadn't embarrassed myself yet
The time for tea took me by surprise
Each cup tipped back on every lip
I slipped into the void, looked in my own eyes
Plummeted like a sinking ship

Welcome to the party
Now everybody's dancing
Everybody's happy
Who the hell invited you

I feel my face, somehow on fire with glee
What the f*ck is going on
The chandelier swung down and spoke to me
All I could make out was run
The dear doctor overheard our conversation
No need to worry son, you're safe
You're just not used to this kinda sensation
It's gonna get stronger, just wait

Welcome to the party
Where everybody's trippin
Everybody's happy
Who the hell invited you

The saints are skipping straight out the gate
Their bodies wrapped up head to toe
A howl from me as my eyes dilate
And they turned the lights down low
Midnight strikes and they all disappear
Poof, gone, vanished to dust
Dr. dawn must wait another 4 years
Another tea party then, they must

Goodbye to the party
Now everybody's down
Everybody's leaving
Now why the hell aren't you
