Lyrics End of the Parade - The Kingpins

End of the Parade

I never cried like I cry when I cry for you
I thought that my heart was still waterproof
It’s pulling on the anchor dropping far below
A weight on my chest that I don’t want to know
It’s pouring down on my street and it won’t stop
The water level’s rising and it won’t drop
So crack another barrel open
Drink up it’s the end of the parade
The crowd dives for cover off the meter board
They’re running for the shelter promised long before
I’m stuck on this float that is sinking fast
How could I believe that our love would last?
Forty days and forty nights
Leaking from your bleeding heart
Flooding in the basement, damage to the roof
Damage to the bookshelf and the records too
Among those were the copies you forgot you lent
So let the water wash away all evidence
It’s pouring down on my street and it won’t stop
The water level’s rising and it won’t drop
So crack another barrel open
Forget the parts that may be broken
Drink up it’s the end of the parade
