"Parade" lyrics

"Parade"

Where did you go after the parade
I wandered, searching for about an hour
Then I parked it on a bench
Shifting and sulking
Those pesky little mosquitoes
They nearly, nearly, nearly, nearly drained me
Then a man dripping with vitalis
Said I looked like Joe Namath
He asked me did I used to be famous
And I said "neighbor, I'm famously late"
And I said "neighbor, I'm famously late"

Where did you go after the parade
You never even appeared to enjoy it
I came out of it with a slight experience
Drinking and howling, howling at the natives
You're a great at disappearing
You left me with an ear ache
I spit into the swan lake saying
"What a hideous review"
Saying, "what a hideous review"
Weather, barometric pressure
Push me to the ground
My stomach is growling
I always heard this was such a festive town
How can everybody over ten years old is frowning
How can everybody over ten years old is frowning

So where did you go after the parade
I didn't expecting you to be bolting away
Remember the time you took me
To see Harold and Maude
'Cause I didn't know the meaning
Of the word catharsis
We are busy weaklings
We poking around for reasons
We are happy little heathens
It's just time we both admit it
It's just time we both admit it

So now where did you go after the parade
