about

Loosely based on Rumi's "The Guest House"

lyrics

I had a friend stop by
one I don’t particularly like
but a friend nonetheless
she’s alright
name o’ Ann Xiety
just a bit on the nervous side
thinks the world will end
if certain things won’t to her way
I just serve her tea and say,
“Welcome to the party.”

‘nother friend dropped by,
one I don’t particularly like,
but a friend nonetheless
But he’s alright
just a bit negative sometimes
‘name o’ Ray Gret.
looks back on the old days
wishes they’d went some other way
when he gets moody
I tell him a couple o’ jokes and say
“Welcome to the party.”

Welcome to the party
Welcome to the party
Welcome to the party
Come on in
Welcome to the party
Welcome to the party
Welcome to the party
won’t you make yourself right at home.


more friends came:
anger, suspicion, blame
lust, fear, and judgement to name a few.
leanin’ on the kitchen sink
smokin’ tea or mixin’ drinks
man they was quite the motley crew.
I let ‘em in, turned them ‘round, and sat ‘em down
and said, “Welcome to the party.”


Yeah, they’re a rough crowd
drink too much and laugh to loud
but when they know they’re welcome not so bad
fear and blame are on the carpet, dancin’
everybody’s got to stay around
everybody’s happy because they know they all
welcome at the party
