Parade - Leo Kottke

Problems in a little town, disrupting of the rain

Diesel trains and firemen collecting in the shade

The rain’s still a long way off, the snakes have got it made

But everyone’s got off today

Everyone’s got off today

One by one the windows shutting down with frowns

The wind comes up and funny papers rattle through the town

The rain is coming closer, the trees are bending town

But everyone’s got off today

Everyone’s got off today

Underneath the glass on the dresser drawer

Ticket stubs and photographs, never any more

And in the puddles on the lawns a tiny jockey stands

But everyone’s got off today

Everyone’s got off today

Everyone’s got off today
