Lyrics No More Parades - Son Volt

No More Parades

Don’t know if your carin'
Truth is worth tearing
Though we’re miles apart
Front door leavin'
Is the way I’ve been feelin'
Twenty days overboard
That’s the way the hinge turns, just half way 'round
Believe it all first, finally flickers out
No mood anymore, hold up, hammer down the stake
No more parades
Got to know a friend
With a think tank and a farm
And you couldn’t ask for better
Works on dreams
Inside of her schemes
Lives like the words in a song
That’s the way the hinge turns, just half way around
Believe it all first, finally flickers out
No mood anymore, hold up, hammer down the stake
No more parades
A pesticide moon hangs
Cold coffee and tears
Flowin' out of the brain
Shoulda caught the bus
Shoulda pulled in line
Shoulda made up for that down time
That’s the way the hinge turns, just half way around
Believe it all first, finally flickers out
No mood anymore, hold up, hammer down the stake
No more parades
