Love Parade
The Dream Academy
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Look out your window any day From June to September the love parade's Out on the street where you live and you know It's just a matter of time before it takes over They've been married for so many years Now a young love seranade blows sweet nothing in her ear They're lonely together, when they're not apart It feels like she's holding on to someone else in the dark. Oh the love parade is on Even against all odds It'll go on forever The love parade Only matinee shows The love parade. But if he could put himself into a different skin He'd be worrying about what he's let himself in for Hanging in the air apparent A point of view almost transparent So you sold your soul for a pocket full of sweet talk Forget-me-not kisses at the end of a slow walk And when it's done you put your world back on 'Cause she's otherwise engaged married to someone Oh the love parade goes on Even when you're gone It'll go on forever The love parade Only matinee shows The love parade.
