lyrics
Flower Parade
Can I give you a witness to call?
Will your jury be journeyed at falls?
Into maddening tales of loves and the lost?
Where’s my call?
I’ve no alibi, evidence clear
They built chains out of calendars, years
I’ve grown roots to dig out of the cellar door
Fear, brought you close
Everyone’s dancing in time to the flower parade
Everyone’s trying to be from the light that they fake
Kings and Jesters, Ministers, Fathers
All guilty, human falters
Everyone’s dancing in time to the flower parade
In this jail now I’m limpin alone
I set everything up here, you know
I set traps then I setup myself then I called to my guard
Guilt-ty
Life-sentence
Good, names the enemy of the court, Perfect
Can I give you a witness to call?
Will your jury be journeyed at falls?
Into maddening tales of loves and the lost?
Where’s my call?
I’ve no alibi, evidence clear
They built chains out of calendars, years
I’ve grown roots to dig out of the cellar door
Fear, brought you close
Everyone’s dancing in time to the flower parade
Everyone’s trying to be from the light that they fake
Kings and Jesters, Ministers, Fathers
All guilty, human falters
Everyone’s dancing in time to the flower parade
In this jail now I’m limpin alone
I set everything up here, you know
I set traps then I setup myself then I called to my guard
Guilt-ty
Life-sentence
Good, names the enemy of the court, Perfect
