Rose Parade

Rose Parade - Elliott Smith

Lyrics by：Elliott Smith

Composed by：Elliott Smith

You asked me to come down and watch the parade

To march down the street like the Duracell bunny

But we get away from the cavalcade

Throwing out candy that looks like money

To people passing by

They'd all seem to be going the other way

So won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade

Tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar

People were shouting and pushing and saying

They'd traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar

Ridiculous marching band started playing

Got me singing along

With some half-hearted victory song

So won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade

So won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade

So won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade

The trumpet has obviously been drinkin

'Cause he's ****ing up even the simplest lines

You say it's a sight that's quite worth seeing

It's just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine

When they clean the street

I'll be the only **** that's left behind

So won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade

So won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade

So won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade
