Rose Parade -
by Elliott Smith
| They asked me to come down and watch the parade | |
| And to march down the street like the Duracell bunny | |
| With a wink and a wave from the cavalcade | |
| Throwing out candy that looks like money | |
| To people passing by that all seem to be going the other way | |
| Said, Won't you follow me down to the rose parade? | |
| Tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar | |
| People were shouting and pushing and saying | |
| When I traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar | |
| A ridiculous marching band started playing | |
| And got me singing along with some half-hearted victory song | |
| Won't you follow me down to the rose parade? | |
| Won't you follow me down to the rose parade? | |
| Won't you follow me down to the rose parade? | |
| The trumpet has obviously been drinking | |
| Cause he's fucking up even the simplest lines | |
| I'd say it's a sight that's quite worth seeing | |
| It's just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine | |
| And when they clean the streets I'll be the only shit that's left behind | |
| Won't you follow me down to the rose parade? | |
| Won't you follow me down to the rose parade? | |
| Won't you follow me down to the rose parade? |
