Night Parade — The Band
You got lost in the crowd The waves of people in Chinatown Can't get behind this mystery Do you believe everything you see
Just a shadow in the streetlight Just a shadow on the wall A silhouette, face in the darkness I've been waiting for the call
Chorus
We'll go marching in the night parade We'll be marching in the night parade
I combed the streets like cloak and dagger I put the word out on the waterfront We were living hard, living fast Outrunning ghosts from the past
Just a shadow in the moonlight Just a shadow on the wall A silhouette, the kiss of death Did somebody take the fall
Chorus
Mary, Mary, Mary I'm knocking on your door Mary, Mary sanctuary can't see you no more From out of the past a stranger came And carried you away I stood on the corner, the scene of the crime And I could here her say
Chorus
We're living in a street opera Are we just living in a street opera
Chorus
Walking the night beat The rhythm of the street Moving to the heartbeat of the city
