Parade — текст песни (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
