End of the Parade - The Kingpins

I never cried like I cry when I cry for you

I thought that my heart was still waterproof

It’s pulling on the anchor dropping far below

A weight on my chest that I don’t want to know

It’s pouring down on my street and it won’t stop

The water level’s rising and it won’t drop

So crack another barrel open

Drink up it’s the end of the parade

The crowd dives for cover off the meter board

They’re running for the shelter promised long before

I’m stuck on this float that is sinking fast

How could I believe that our love would last?

Forty days and forty nights

Leaking from your bleeding heart

Flooding in the basement, damage to the roof

Damage to the bookshelf and the records too

Among those were the copies you forgot you lent

So let the water wash away all evidence

It’s pouring down on my street and it won’t stop

The water level’s rising and it won’t drop

So crack another barrel open

Forget the parts that may be broken

Drink up it’s the end of the parade
