In a Parade Songtext
von Paul Simon

Some nights the ER is quiet as an EKG
But tonight it feels like every broken bone
Tonight it feels like every wounded soul
Is filling out a form or on the ′phone

I can't talk now, I′m in a parade
I can't talk now, I'm in a parade
Can′t talk to you now, I′m in a parade
I can't talk now, I′m in a parade

I drank some orange soda
Then I drank some grape
I wear a hoodie now to over my mistake
My head's a lollipop
My head is a lollipop

My head′s a lollipop and everyone wants to lick it
I wear a hoodie now so I won't get a ticket
I write my verse for the universe
That′s who I am

I can't talk now, I'm in a parade
I can′t talk now, I′m in a parade
I can't talk now, I′m in a parade
Can't talk to you now, I′m in a parade
