Parade - Aurelio Voltaire

You know it’s true we’re both the same

In a storm of words we get lost in what is said

You know me and you see through me

So why are you confused by the things I say and do?

Do you know me?

You see the strain upon my face

Please, don’t rain on my parade

It comes too light, it comes in waves

It’s gone too late

It goes astray, it goes too far and you say

It’s clear I know where all your buttons are

It’s not so strange, you know, it’s not so queer

That I know they’re there 'cause I’m the one

Who put them there, exactly as you feared

I know you and I see though you

So why am I surprised by the things you say and do?

I don’t know why

I see the strain upon your face

I won’t rain on your parade

It comes too light it comes in waves

It’s gone too late

Don’t steal the smile from off my face

Please, don’t rain on my parade

It comes too light, it comes in waves

It’s gone too late

I know that I can’t replace you

And it would be a lie to say that I could ever try

Don’t steal the smile from off my face

Please, don’t rain on my parade

It comes too light, it comes in waves

It’s gone too late

You see the strain upon my face

Please, don’t rain on my parade

It comes too light, it comes in waves

It’s gone too late

It’s gone too late

It cuts two ways

It cuts two ways

It’s gone too late
