Hey girl, run away
Oh this worlds got nothing for you
Hey girl, fly away
I see your spirit drift like balloons
Hey girl, don?t you cry
You died on the day you were born
Hey boy, don?t you fret
You?ve 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 you?re too pretty for this world
Hey girl, sing it soft
You?ll 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
Don?t be scared, I?ll be okay
But the whole world aches
The sad parade
The sad parade
The sad parade
