Parade

[Verse 1]

They will show me what I want to see

We will watch without grief

We stay one step ahead of relief

You tell me we've been praying

For a bright and clever hell

I think we've been forced to our knees but I can't tell

[Chorus]

Sometimes I forget that we're supposed to be in love

Sometimes I forget my position

Sometimes I forget that we're supposed to be in love

Sometimes I forget my position

[Verse 2]

It's so hot in here

What are they trying to hatch?

We must not be frail, we must watch

Now that I'm out of touch with anger

Now I have nothing to live up to

I don't know when to stop joking

When I stop I hope that I am with you

[Chorus]

Sometimes I forget that we're supposed to be in love

Sometimes I forget my position

Sometimes I forget that we're supposed to be in love

Sometimes I forget my position

[Bridge]

What on earth is the size of my life?

[Verse 3]

It's so hot in here

What are they trying to hatch?

We must not be frail, we must watch

Now that I'm out of touch with anger

Now I have nothing to live up to

I don't know when to stop joking

When I stop I hope I am with you
