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
