It's eleven o'clock in the evening
I'm barefoot and I'm logged on to the Internet
I usually pick up my email 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 okay, dear
I got a brand new book here and I'm not going anywhere"
The funny thing about a couple
When a couple of years have 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 awhile ago
Oh, when does a mystery turn into history?
I don't know
Anyway, I got another megadata 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 calling
I look up at the clock, not as late as I thought
Only quarter to one
The download's finished, I can 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 said all night
Well, well, well, oh
We're invited to a virtual party tonight
You try it
Well, well, well, oh
You're invited to a virtual party tonight

Oh, 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 taped sixteen episodes of Star Trek
But when am I gonna show them?
It's unbelievable, 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, "You want to go to a place more private?
I kinda think you'd like it"
I say, "Hi, yeah"
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 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 going as Mata Hari
Maybe all night long"
I say, "All night?"
Well, well, well, oh
You're invited to a virtual party
What did you say now?
Well, well, well, oh
You're invited to a virtual party
One more time now
Well, well, well, oh
You're invited to a...
One more, one more
Ready or not, here comes the twenty-first century
You're invited to a virtual party tonight
