Kino - Losers' Day Parade lyrics

rate me

Maverick, well do you recall the feelings you were sold?<br />

Like Manhattan in the fall and all the washed away brigade within the soul<br />

How it flickered in the neon by the seventh,<br />

And so meaninglessly sentimental<br />

<br />

Maverick, now we only want the feelings we can sell<br />

Near the bridge beyond eleventh where you contemplate the candle on the wall<br />

Mesmerizing, how it flickers by the subway, yeah,<br />

Well we can sell it all<br />

<br />

Now you turn to me like a friend<br />

Your stock is rising again<br />

Sell yourself and I'll try to pretend<br />

At least that's something<br />

Figures up but predictions are low<br />

Carry you all the way to the show<br />

So for now you've got nowhere to go<br />

I'll drop you later<br />

<br />

These are the days and the stakes are so high<br />

No one will say that they care as much as I do...<br />

<br />

She waits for you by the stage<br />

So glittering and engaged<br />

Much too late for you to engage<br />

In awkward silence<br />

Say the word and she'll always be there<br />

Intentions perfectly clear<br />

Telling you all that you need to hear<br />

And it's all for you<br />

And she says...<br />

<br />

These are the days when you make me alive<br />

No one will say that they love you as much as I do...<br />

<br />

Shut up! Shut up!<br />

<br />

Hair spray, deranged, the smell of in-between still lingers<br />

And the cheapness just keeps reaping to the old refrains still lingering<br />

The only sound you hear, the quiet falling of the rain inside<br />

Your beautiful playground on this Losers' Day parade<br />

<br />

Maverick, you idiot, the meakeup and the fakeup,<br />

All the falsy just like palsy and you still don't learn<br />

Excuses are so stupid, your remedial behaviour<br />

With all this comfort purchase and you still won't learn<br />

<br />

So to the ironbound section of the Avenue L<br />

Where the disperate faces come to see what you sell<br />

Live divine, feelings once mine, charcoal color of your soul<br />

<br />

If I carved you heart right onto my skin<br />

You were never in my thougts when I turned to sing<br />

Cut the wire, wait a pointless hour, meaningless never should have been<br />

<br />

So the architect wants a prettier song<br />

Like a dead end anthem for the kids gone wrong<br />

Immaculate dreams chasing beautiful scenes, designs for life (into your heart)<br />

<br />

Hey Mr. Nameless, do I seem a bit insensitive?<br />

I'm trying to forget what you are...<br />

Well I'm hoping you have seen us and it will not come between us<br />

So how could you let it go this far?<br />

Dead nobodies in company cars...<br />

<br />

Is this the radio that's safely saturating you,<br />

I pray that you rmemeber when the wheels stop spinning<br />

I walk to the wreckage and I dream of middle England<br />

This consolation travelled so far...<br />

Dead nobodies in company cars...<br />

<br />

This lonliness wherever you are...<br />

Dead nobodies in company cars...
