Chesnutt Vic Parade Lyrics

Parade Lyrics

(Vic Chesnutt)
where did you go after the parade
I wandered, searching for
about an hour
then I parked it on a bench
shifting and sulking
those
pesky little mosquitoes
they nearly, nearly, nearly, nearly drained
me
then a man dripping with vitalis
said I looked like Joe Namath
he
asked me did I used to be famous
and I said "neighbor, I'm famously
late"
and I said "neighbor, I'm famously late"
where did you go after the
parade
you never even appeared to enjoy it
I came out of it with a slight
experience
drinking and howling at the natives
you're a great at
disappering
you left me with an ear ache
I spit into the swan lake
saying
"what a hideous rewiev"
saying, "what a hideous
rewiev"
weather, barometric pressaure
push me to the ground
my stomach
is growling
I always heard this was such a festive town
but everybody over
ten years old is frowning
everybody over ten years old is frowning
where
did you go after the parade
I didn't expecting you to be bolting
away
remember the time you took me
to see Harold and Maude
'cause I
didn't know the meaning
of the word catharsis
we are busy
weaklings
poking around for reasons
we are happy little heathens
it's
just time we both admit it
it's time we both admit it
