Elliott Smith - Either/Or: Expanded Edition

Rose Parade

You asked me to come down and watch the parade
to march down the street like the Duracell bunny
but we get away from the cavalcade
throwing out candy that looks like money
to people passing by
they'd all seem to be going the other way

So won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?

Tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar
People were shouting and pushing and saying
they'd traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar

Ridiculous marching band started playing
got me singing along
with some half-hearted victory song

So won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?

The trumpet has obviously been drinking
cause he's fucking up even the simplest lines
You say it's a sight that's quite worth seeing
It's just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine
When they clean the street, I'll be the only shit that's left behind

So won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?
