Open invitation nation

Recorded in the spring of 2005.

And the world is gone
And the world is on my shoulder
And the world keeps spinning
And there’s no one to embrace you

Set a standard, fake another day,
Zooming out all the waifs and strays
From the top, fake another day

The vacancy is clearly displayed
And I couldn’t anticipate
This pitfall and this backfire
So now I’m driving with my headlights on

In an open invitation nation
I could use some more colors not a rhyme

See the prospects fading
But we’re gonna prove ourselves right
The words betrayed me
The ground betrayed me
But we’re gonna prove ourselves right

The vacancy is clearly displayed
And I couldn’t anticipate
This pitfall and this backfire
So now I’m driving with my headlights on

In an open invitation nation
I could use some more colors not a rhyme

And there’s something in between us
Something’s stealing space

In an open invitation nation
I could use some more colors not a rhyme
