Welcome to the Parade
The doll laughs, It's looking at me and laughingThe starry-eyed girl knows the parade will continue. Moaning criminal. In a new light.Consciousness still obscure, bright bright, the inside of the buildings all lit up The rising sun.I think I heard a "Help, mayday."Screaming without worrying about it.Drink, and be merry is tonight's feast, the drum of the parade never quiet,The noise never stops. Chase the butterfly around the deserted amusement park.Yes, we played long ago, you and INostalgia, sometimes mayhemThe closed sketchbooks triggers a flashbackMy omen-less eyes dazzled, open and closedHeartbeat, memories with you, tearfully disappearingDispassionately painted over, simple work.So why am I crying?
A second paradeWith my beloved boyThis time let's dance together, keep going as far as we canBecause look, look, I won't be late again

I search for themWait a minute, what? Who is "them"?Look at the audience, all the same faceThe air trapeze, the world is a giant flaskWhere is that girl, I call one more timeThe ringing of a black rotary phone in the nightA faded note, open and dial, address is ____Picking up the phone, hear a faint, cheer"Welcome to the Parade's continuation"
