The Love Parade

Look out of your window on any day

From June to September the love parade's

Out on the street where you live and you know

It's just a matter of time before it takes over

They've been married for so many years

Now a young love serenade

Blows sweet nothing in her ear

They're lonely together

When they're not apart

It feels like he's holding on

To someone else in the dark

Oh, the love parade is on

Even against all odds

It'll go on forever

The love parade

The love parade

Only matinee shows

The love parade

But if he could put himself

Into a different skin

He'd be worrying about

What he let himself in for

Hanging in the air apparent

A point of view

Almost transparent

So you sold your soul

For a pocket full of sweet talk

Forget me not kisses

At the end of a slow walk

And when it's done

You put your world back on

'Cause she's otherwise engaged

Married to someone, whoa

The love parade goes on

Even when you're gone

It'll go on forever

The love parade

The love parade

Only matinee shows

The love parade

Everybody knows the love parade

Married to someone

Married to someone, whoa

Everybody knows

Everybody, everybody

Everybody, everywhere knows

That's all

How it goes

But this is dedicated

To the one I love

To the one I love

But this is dedicated

But this is dedicated

To the one I love

To the one I love

We'll meet every day

But this is dedicated

In the same cafe

To the one I love

This is dedicated

But this is dedicated

To the one I love

To the one I love

But this is dedicated

But this is dedicated

To the one I love

To the one I love

We'll meet every day

This is dedicated

In the same cafe

To the one I love

But this is dedicated

But this is dedicated

To the one I love

To the one I love

But this is dedicated

This is dedicated
