Dogs Eye View lyrics : "Homecoming Parade"

Halos and helicopters
Everything is over my head
Thought they were coming to save me,

But they just left me here for dead

I hopped in an ambulance

Caught a ride back to my old hometown
Got out at four corners,
And watched the crowd gather 'round


For the homecoming parade
Where they called me a hero

And asked me why i've changed
At the homecoming parade
They're killing off their favorite sons


Angels and astronauts
Everyone is looking down at me

I thought they were coming to help
But they're just falling out of the sky


There's a laugh track,
But no one's smiling
Everyone is keeping their head down.

No one wants to make a scene
In this small minded town
Where all the mothers drink 'til they drown


At the homecoming parade
Where they call you a hero

And then spike the lemonade
At the homecoming parade
They're killing off their favorite sons

And all their daughters are on the run

Heretics and hometown heroes

We all get treated the same
They line us up to praise us
'Til they turn the tv cameras off


Then they line us up and interview us
Then they line us up and accuse us

Then they line us up and shoot us

At the homecoming parade

Where they call you a hero
As they tie you to the stake
At the homecoming parade

They're killing off their favorite sons
They've got all their daughters on the run
They've been killing off

Their favorite sons for years
All their daughters
Are picking up their guns

And getting out of here.
