Parade

If you come to find out who you are

Then, may you find out, may you find out who you are

And if you come to search for what is lost

Then may you find it, may you find it at any cost

And if you come o'er from far

Then, may it not touch you or ever do you harm

And if you come, oh, so soft

You may look up one day and you'll be hard

If I were to die today

Slaughtered in that masquerade

The last thing that you'd hear me say

Put my body on display in the parade

Passing slowly through the town

My feet, they cannot touch the ground of the parade

All of my friends were there, waiting on me

Oh, Laurie was there, waiting on me

Anna was there, waiting on me

I have come, I will go, just the same

If I were to die today

Puppet in that grey charade

The last thing that you'd hear me say is

Bury me in different shades of the parade

Passing slowly through the town

My feet, they can not touch the ground

Go now, you'll go but, oh, just how?

Never leave this, never leave this town of the parade

Didn't I tell you?

Oh, walk down through the alley

And wasn't I in search for

Oh, somebody just like you?

Open up your window, throw down your hair

I'll climb it anywhere

I feel just like a boy

Still life with the rejects from the Island of misfit toys
