Band The Night Parade Lyrics

Night Parade Lyrics

You got lost in the crowd

 The waves of people in chinatown

 Can't get behind this mystery

 Do you believe everything you see

 

 Just a shadow in the streetlight

 Just a shadow on the wall

 A silhouette, face in the darkness

 I've been waiting for the call

 

 Chorus:

 We'll go marching in the night parade

 We'll be marching in the night parade

 

 I combed the streets like cloak and dagger

 I put the word out on the waterfront

 We were living hard, living fast

 Outrunning ghosts from the past

 

 Just a shadow in the moonlight

 Just a shadow on the wall

 A silhouette, the kiss of death

 Did somebody take the fall

 

 Chorus

 

 Mary, mary, mary i'm knocking on your door

 Mary, mary sanctuary can't see you no more

 From out of the past a stranger came

 And carried you away

 I stood on the corner, the scene of the crime

 And i could here her say

 

 Chorus

 

 We're living in a street opera

 Are we just living in a street opera

 

 Chorus

 

 Walking the night beat

 The rhythm of the street

 Moving to the heartbeat of the city

 

 Chorus
