THE LUMINEERS lyrics : "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
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

Chorus:


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


Chorus:

Oh my my oh hey hey

Here it comes, the big parade
Marching bands and barricades
Make way, for the big parade


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


Chorus:

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
Yea this is my confession, I'm leaving I can't a priest anymore, anymore


Chorus:


And oh my my oh hey hey
There he goes, the man of faith


Left the church for a fiance
Let him love, the man of faith


T.v. cameras, t.v. 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


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
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

Lovely girl won't you stay, oh oh ohoh


Chorus:


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
