When the slow parade went past
 And it felt so good 
 You knew it couldn't last
 All too soon the end is [bad word] without a warning
 Then you ought to just go home

 And the way it all went back 
 And somebody said [bad word] on, it's getting late."

 And you fought to hold my hand 
 If you just look the other way
 Now you wish that you had stayed

 And there so much more that you could see if you just stick around
 And all the street light secrets 
 Whisping for you [bad word] back out.

 Oh, no
 There's so much more that you need to work out
 Oh, no
 And you don't want that parade to leave you now
 Right now

 And the days are all the same
 In a town so big and no one knows your name 
 And the people fade away and all the the stars are just a flicker
 And you're left there all alone

 When there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around
 And all the street light secrets 
 Whispering for you [bad word] back out

 Oh, no
 There's so much more that you need to work out
 Oh, no
 And you don't want that parade to leave you now

 When the music is over, 
 But the song stays in your head

 Oh, no
 There's so much more that you need to work out
 Oh, no
 And you don't want that parade to leave you now

 Yeah
 And there's so much more that you need to work out
 Yeah
 And you don't want that parade to leave you now
