Muffle the drums.. and hope the new century comes¡¦?
|
Was it all the amphetamine presidents and their busy wives
|
Or did Manhattan crumble the day Marilyn died?
|
|
All your life you dreamed a dream
|
Somehow connected with the silver screen
|
With half closed eyes you realise
|
It¡¯s love in the life that is paradise
|
In a technicolour fade - I dream a parade
|
Like some flob house - bop house serenade
|
Every dog must have his day
|
|
Ramshackle day parade
|
We¡¯re going on through
|
Ramshackle day parade
|
|
This is the Ramshackle day parade
|
Of all those lost, unborn and unmade
|
And whose heads got filled with neon lava
|
And remain buried under this road
|
|
Ramshackle day parade
|
Taking the freight elevator from the incinerators
|
Come all the hopped up G-men riding refrigerated alligators
|
Faces of the civil wars
|
In holograms holding 44¡¯s
|
And after the deranged cowboys
|
Bring out the banners of Stalingrad
|
|
Bring out the banners of Stalingrad
|
|
Here comes the marching band - The band of the underhand
|
|
This is the Ramshackle day parade
|
Ramshackle day parade
