The Sad Parade

Denison Marrs


I see you working 
can't say i'm surprised - 
this is not the first time we've been here. 
is this the process? 
fall in time to rise? 
rise and fall then rise 

(pre-chorus) 
but when you're on your own 
left without that chorus of adoring eyes 
exposed 
as no more than another gaping hole of need 
holding out for sympathy 

(chorus) 
fall in - we'll stop the world again 
the sad parade is coming 
fall in - we'll stop the world again 
the sad parade is coming 
the sad parade is coming through 

it's how we do it 
everything's in time 
make the myths 
and take our place in line 
is this the process? 
fall in time to rise? 
rise and fall and rise? 

coming through 
fallen 
coming through 
falling stars 
coming through 
coming through 

(the fallen stars are coming)
