When the slow parade went past
When it felt so good you knew it couldn't last
And all too soon the end was gonna come without a warning

And you'd have to just go home

And the way it all went by

And somebody said "come on it's getting late"
And you thought the world might end if you just looked the other way
And now you wish that you had stayed


And there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around
And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out


Oh no
There's so much more that you need to work out

Oh no
You don't want that parade to leave you now


And the days are all the same
And the town so big and no one knows your name
And the people fade away

And all stars are just a flicker
And you're left there all alone


When there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around
And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out


Oh no
There's so much more that you need to work out
Oh no

You don't want that parade to leave you now

When the music's over

But the song stays in your head

Oh no

There's so much more that you need to work out
Oh no
You don't want that parade to leave you now


Yeah
There's so much more that you need to work out

Yeah
You don't want that parade to leave you now
