Rose Parade |
| they asked me to come down and watch the parade |
| and to march down the street like the duracell bunny |
| with a wink and a wave from the cavalcade |
| throwing out candy that looks like money |
| to people passing by that all seem to be going the other way |
| said won’t you follow me down to the rose parade |
| tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar |
| people were shouting and pushing and saying |
| and when I traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar |
| a ridiculous marching band started playing |
| and got me singing along with some half-hearted victory song |
| won’t you follow me down to the rose parade |
| won’t you follow me down to the rose parade |
| won’t you follow me down to the rose parade |
| the trumpet has obviously been drinking |
| because he’s fucking up even the simplest lines |
| I’d say it’s a sight that’s quite worth seeing |
| it’s just that everyone’s interest is stronger than mine |
| and when they clean the street I’ll be the only shit that’s left behind |
| won’t you follow me down to the rose parade |
| won’t you follow me down to the rose parade |
| won’t you follow me down to the rose parade |
