Parade Lyrics

Alone with the Blackened bark

I thought of the sun and it came

I thought of the birds and they came

Mannequins with missing hands

Men with burning holes for eyes

Wiling the mornings to change

First I cried when I left

Then I cried when I landed

The forest laughed as I pirouette

Saw the ghosts in the branches

Alone with the blackened sky

And soak for hours in the madness

Like pigs in mud with their muddy friends

slow like waves until the end

When we bury our hopes in the garden

As durian falls on my head

And splits like egg in my brain stem

Don't trust a man with poultry face

But please feel free to placate them

Sunny days in a crowded parade

Favouring shade as I walk away

Please hold my hand in case I escape

Dancing alone The Parisian way

Reach out your arm

I want to check you're a person

I favour the real not the virtual

I'm rubbing my eyes but you're still here

feeling my feet on the pavement

Don't be alarmed

Im trying to alter my mindset

Im living a lie but I'm still here

In my Parisian nightmare
