No More Parades - Son Volt

Don’t know if your carin'

Truth is worth tearing

Though we’re miles apart

Front door leavin'

Is the way I’ve been feelin'

Twenty days overboard

That’s the way the hinge turns, just half way 'round

Believe it all first, finally flickers out

No mood anymore, hold up, hammer down the stake

No more parades

Got to know a friend

With a think tank and a farm

And you couldn’t ask for better

Works on dreams

Inside of her schemes

Lives like the words in a song

That’s the way the hinge turns, just half way around

Believe it all first, finally flickers out

No mood anymore, hold up, hammer down the stake

No more parades

A pesticide moon hangs

Cold coffee and tears

Flowin' out of the brain

Shoulda caught the bus

Shoulda pulled in line

Shoulda made up for that down time

That’s the way the hinge turns, just half way around

Believe it all first, finally flickers out

No mood anymore, hold up, hammer down the stake

No more parades
