==Lyrics==
Please please invite me to your party 
'Cause I was alone so much when I was young 
I'm a good guest, I could say almost nothing 
And I could almost like almost anyone

And I haven't talked to anyone in days 
But look, I brought all this imported beer 
And it's far too easy to be alone 
It's far too easy to disappear

Oh mercy, oh mercy 
You're a sight for my sore eyes 
You know I just want to believe, honey 
The road will rise

And I got party talk for all your party guests 
My topics include fascism and rising crime 
And when I outline the coming doom of the USA 
Will that'll ensure everyone's good time

I'll turn the talk as bright as falling leaves 
Like it's a good time even though it's rotten 
And I'll lead a drunken cheers to the brave pioneers 
Who give all they have and are forgotten

Oh mercy, oh mercy 
I'm tired of goodbyes 
I just wanna believe, honey 
The road will rise

I swear they'll love the four dirty jokes I know 
I swear I'll hit the kitchen like dynamite 
I'll even clean up the mess when I smash my glass 
I'm lost, I'm lost but it's alright

Oh mercy, oh mercy 
Don't look in my sore eyes 
I just want to believe, honey 
The road will rise

And who, who, who am I 
I'm a ghost drifting by
