Parade On

Her hands are in the air again
 Stripped of pride
 She was waiting for a sign to be let in
 She tried to stop a train for him
 Without shoes
 And he was so amused, amused
 She needs a reason to parade on
 She needs a new road to pave
 She needs a reason to parade on
 It's wearing her outsides thin
 There's someone there to save
 You wonder why she gives and gives
 Till it burns
 And there is nothing he can give her in return
 She'll live and die by make-believe
 Her frozen heart
 Well he can't wait around while she gets blown apart
 She needs a reason to parade on
 She needs a new road to pave
 She needs a reason to parade on
 It's wearing her outsides thin
 There's someone there to save
 The distance won't know which way you should go
 'Cause we are not built so we can float
 We are what we are
 But that seems so far
 Parting the Red Sea is easier, easier
 It's time to introduce herself
 She's dethroned
 Like some lonesome dusty book upon his shelf
 She needs a reason to parade on
 She needs a new road to pave
 She needs a reason to parade on
 It's wearing her outsides thin
 There's someone there to save, oh
 And there's nothing I can say
 And there's nothing I can say
