Your Wonderful Parade

Your wonderful parade Moving thru the towns that rise and then they fade Over streets that pass the houses where you've stayed Your wonderful parade Your daily masquerade Paper masks behind this face that you have made Crumble down upon foundation that you've laid Your daily masquerade (*) Stand in line try to climb Meet your wife at cocktail time Surely you should try and choose a better way to fall Your marvelous charade Never could be worth the prices that you've paid Blindness is a part of every game you've played Your marvelous charade Repeat (*) Your daily masquerade Your wonderful parade
