Big Parade |
| Lovely girl, won’t you stay |
| Won’t you stay, stay with me |
| All my life I was blind |
| I was blind, now I see |
| Fleet of black, fleet of black limousines |
| These tinted machines, here comes the cavalcade |
| With the armored cars, armored cars like Berettas |
| Flags on antennaes designed to keep me safe, keep me safe |
| And oh my my, oh hey hey |
| Here he comes, the candidate |
| Blue eyed boy, United States |
| Vote for him, the candidate |
| Diamonds cut, diamonds cut for the carrots |
| Plaster of Paris, the floats fill up the street |
| And the beauty queens, beauty queens with the white gloves |
| All sick from the night clubs, they wave with pageantry, pageantry |
| Oh my my, oh hey hey |
| Here it comes, the big parade |
| Marching bands and barricades |
| Make way, for the big parade |
| Oh |
| Canvas covered, canvas covered in resin |
| The violent men who dance the blood ballet |
| And the bookies say, bookies say it’s the 3rd round |
| Oh, when Louie will go down |
| If he don’t, there’s hell to pay and hell to raise |
| And oh my my oh hey hey |
| Here he comes, the welterweight |
| Take a dive, for goodness sake |
| Or say goodbye to the welterweight |
| Catholic priest, Catholic priest in a crisis |
| He’s torn between romance and Jesus |
| Who will win the civil war |
| And he says I’m in love, I’m in love with a woman |
| Yeah, this is my confession |
| I’m leaving, I can’t be a priest anymore, anymore |
| And oh my, oh hey hey |
| There he goes, the man of faith |
| Left the church for a fiance |
| Let him love, the man of faith |
| TV cameras, TV cameras and stage hands |
| American Bandstand, electric guitars |
| And he’s singin' songs, singin' songs for the lonely |
| All the girls with the room keys |
| They know all his words by heart, by heart and they all sing |
| All my life I was blind |
| I was blind, now I see |
| Lovely girl, won’t you stay |
| Oh my my, oh hey hey |
| Here she comes by saving grace |
| Burn the car and save the plates |
| She’s arrived, my saving grace |
