Parade Lyrics

I'm gonna pretend to know
What he's talking about
Validate his drunken shouts
I'm gonna let him have half the gig
I'm gonna walk these boots all over him
Why is it that I don't know you
After all the shit that we've been through
Love is a silly game
I wish that we could stay the same
I wanna feel light when I wake
I wanna levitate
I'm gonna rise until I reach the sun
And shit fire down on everyone...
It seems like a lifetime ago
It hurts me to have to say
So there's a lot of shit that you don't get
You don't make me feel
A serpent loves a game of chance
In this type of circumstance
Let me walk you to the door
I can't be yours anymore
I'm gonna ride the fucking rail
I'm gonna give him what he gave
I'm gonna have the last laugh
I'm gonna wave the parade
Let me go
I will run away
I can't see any other way
I don't know where I'm going to
I have been letting go of you
I don't wanna cry
I wanna fly...away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
