Lamplighter's parade

Lamplighter's parade Lyrics

We're standing around

at the New Year's Eve party

with the bridegroom, oh

and we climb down the stairs

where the actress is working

the bedroom, ah

and it's a way of saying


Chorus:

I'm coming down with a disease

of too much wasting

for one to fix


It's the purpose of the world

you would never know it

sometimes, now sometimes


Don't I make like it's easy

to laugh in your face

though I praise you for knowing

how it's one thing to b**ch

you're so sick of this place

it's quite another to be good

another way of saying


Repeat chorus.


It's the purpose of the world

but you would never know it

sometimes, now sometimes

(oooohhhh ahhhh)

and you think we've got it now

oh you think we've got it now

the world's reach

and the ordinary world

do you think we've got it now?
