ELLIOTT SMITH

ELLIOTT SMITH - Rose Parade lyrics

rate me

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

And 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

Because 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 street 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?
