Night Parade

You got lost in the crowd

The waves of people in Chinatown

Can't get behind this mystery

Do you believe everything you see

Just a shadow in the streetlight

Just a shadow on the wall

A silhouette, face in the darkness

I've been waiting for your call

We'll go marching in the night parade

We'll be marching in the night parade

I combed the streets like cloak and dagger

I put the word out on the waterfront

We were living hard, living fast

Outrunning ghosts from the past

Just a shadow in the moonlight

Just a shadow on the wall

A silhouette, the kiss of death

Did somebody take the fall

We'll go marching in the night parade

We'll be marching in the night parade

Mary, Mary, Mary I'm knocking on your door

Mary, Mary sanctuary can't see you no more

From out of the past a stranger came

And carried you away

I stood on the corner, the scene of the crime

And I could hear her say

We'll be marching in the night parade

We'll be marching (Marching) in the night parade

We'll go marching (Marching) in the night parade

We'll go marching (Marching) in the night parade

In the night parade

All y'all living in a street opera

Are we just living in a street opera

We'll be marching in the night parade

And we'll be marching (Marching out here) in the night parade

(In the night parade)

(We'll be marching) Walking the night beat

(In the night parade) The rhythm of the street

Walkin' to the heartbeat of the city

(We'll be marching) Walking the night beat

(In the night parade) The rhythm of the street

Moving to the heartbeat of the city (Moving to the heartbeat of the city)

(We'll be marching in the night parade)

(We'll be marching in the night parade)

We gon' Mardi Gras, come on in the night parade

(We'll be marching in the night parade) We gon' Mardi Gras

(We'll be marching in the night parade) We gon' Mardi Gras
