The Easter Parade — Emmy The Great

Is all that we've become, just nothing but hats and bags We're waiting for taxi cabs ao you light cigarettes and I'm taking drags

In the air, a sea of words that didn't come soon enough In my mind a railway station and a ticket stub

And it is easter in the town I can hear as they strike off the bell We're listening to some old man Say he came back to life with a hole in his head

And now the Sunday school is gathered together in pink and in blue They're heralding angels for you, but not for me

They're singing Gloria in excelsis Deo deo

Gloria in excelsis But there's no, There's no hope

And I am grateful for the things that you've tried to show to me dear but there no arcadia No alby and theres no Jerusalem here

And underneath your pastures green there's earth and there ash and theres bone and there are things that dissapear into it and then they are gone

And there is light that hits the sky and then it is midnight again And there is my mother, my father, and you and we are all impermanent

And on the green they tell their tales about how even the dead can come back I just dont believe in that

So you can keep on singing

Gloria in exclelsis Deo deo

Gloria in excelsis But there's no, There's no hope

There's no such thing There's no such thing There's no such thing There's no such thing There's no such thing There's no such thing There's no such thing There's no such thing as ghosts
