Hey girl, run away Oh this worlds got nothing for you Hey girl, fly away I see your spirit drift like balloons Hey girl, dont you cry You died on the day you were born Hey boy, dont you fret Youve been walking all day in bleeding shoes Hey boy, listen close The willows gonna whisper to you
Well I saw you in the sad parade Laughing loud, your hair in braids Sad parade
Hey girl, run away Oh youre too pretty for this world Hey girl, sing it soft Youll melt all the suburbs to sleep Hey boy, sleep it off All the bluebirds sold their wings here, Hey boy, let her go Your knuckles black from punching the wind
Well I saw you in the sad parade Juggling fire on a big bright stage With wild mermaids The sad parade The sad parade
And just like fireworks lighting up the night You and I, we explode and multiply And just like fireworks you gotta say goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye You gotta say goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Well I saw you in the sad parade Drinking jet black lemonade And if you see me in the sad parade Dont be scared, Ill be okay But the whole world aches The sad parade The sad parade The sad parade
