Sad Parade

Hey girl, run away
Oh this worlds got nothing for you
Hey girl, fly away
I see your spirit drift like balloons
Hey girl, dont you cry
You died on the day you were born
Hey boy, dont you fret
Youve been walking all day in bleeding shoes
Hey boy, listen close
The willows gonna whisper to you

Well I saw you in the sad parade
Laughing loud, your hair in braids
Sad parade

Hey girl, run away
Oh youre too pretty for this world
Hey girl, sing it soft
Youll melt all the suburbs to sleep
Hey boy, sleep it off
All the bluebirds sold their wings here,
Hey boy, let her go
Your knuckles black from punching the wind

Well I saw you in the sad parade
Juggling fire on a big bright stage
With wild mermaids
The sad parade
The sad parade

And just like fireworks lighting up the night
You and I, we explode and multiply
And just like fireworks you gotta say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
You gotta say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Well I saw you in the sad parade
Drinking jet black lemonade
And if you see me in the sad parade
Dont be scared, Ill be okay
But the whole world aches
The sad parade
The sad parade
The sad parade
