Robbie Robertson - Night Parade lyrics

You got lost in the crowd The waves of people in Chinatown Can't get behind this mystery Do you believe everything you see Just a shadow in the streetlight Just a shadow on the wall A silhouette, face in the darkness I've been waiting for your call We'll go marching in the night parade We'll be marching in the night parade I combed the streets like cloak and dagger I put the word out on the waterfront We were living hard, living fast Outrunning ghosts from the past Just a shadow in the moonlight Just a shadow on the wall A silhouette, the kiss of d**h Did somebody take the fall We'll go marching in the night parade We'll be marching in the night parade Mary, Mary, Mary I'm knocking on your door Mary, Mary sanctuary can't see you no more From out of the past a stranger came And carried you away I stood on the corner, the scene of the crime And I could hear her say We'll be marching in the night parade We'll be marching (marching) in the night parade We'll go marching (marching) in the night parade We'll go marching (marching) in the night parade In the night parade All y'all living in a street opera Are we just living in a street opera We'll be marching in the night parade And we'll be marching (marching out here) in the night parade (In the night parade) Walking the night beat The rhythm of the street Walkin to the heartbeat of the city Walking the night beat The rhythm of the street Moving to the heartbeat of the city (Moving to the heartbeat of the city) We'll be marching in the night parade
