A Fine Day for a Parade

Mrs. Carver says shes sorry
She knows enough not to worry
But what does she know about crime?
Believes the town is sinking
The price of forward thinking
You stay up all night half the time
Racking your mind
Alone in the night
While all your neighbors sleep tight
Years ago she lost her daughter
Off to a sacred order
Where they got stoned and worked the earth
Clears up her head with bourbon
Cause beer is so suburban
And declasse for what its worth
She drinks it down, down, down
For all the old, old days
Shes thinking of it now
Its nice to get away
But what a fine day for a parade
She stays up mending curtains
Until her fingers hurt, and
You can get so bored of it all
No one can say for certain
Shell never safely know when
An asteroid will kill us all
She drinks it down, down, down
For all the old, old days
Shes thinking of it now
Its nice to get away
But what a fine day for a parade
She drinks it down, down, down
For all the old, old days
Shes thinking of it now
Its nice to get away
But what a fine day for a parade
What a fine day for a parade
What a fine day for a parade
What a fine day for a parade...
