Parade Lyrics - Singles - Chesnutt Vic

(Vic Chesnutt) 

where did you go after the parade 

I wandered, searching for about an hour 

then I parked it on a bench 

shifting and sulking 

those pesky little mosquitoes 

they nearly, nearly, nearly, nearly drained me 

then a man dripping with vitalis 

said I looked like Joe Namath 

he asked me did I used to be famous 

and I said "neighbor, I'm famously late" 

and I said "neighbor, I'm famously late" 

where did you go after the parade 

you never even appeared to enjoy it 

I came out of it with a slight experience 

drinking and howling at the natives 

you're a great at disappering 

you left me with an ear ache 

I spit into the swan lake saying 

"what a hideous rewiev" 

saying, "what a hideous rewiev" 

weather, barometric pressaure 

push me to the ground 

my stomach is growling 

I always heard this was such a festive town 

but everybody over ten years old is frowning 

everybody over ten years old is frowning 

where did you go after the parade 

I didn't expecting you to be bolting away 

remember the time you took me 

to see Harold and Maude 

'cause I didn't know the meaning 

of the word catharsis 

we are busy weaklings 

poking around for reasons 

we are happy little heathens 

it's just time we both admit it 

it's time we both admit it
