The Pride Parade

Album: Don McLean - Don McLean Durasi: 4:32
[00:17.64]It started out quite simply, as complex things can do;
[00:28.52]A set of sad transparencies 'til no one could see through,
[00:34.48]But least of all the one inside, behind the iron glass;
[00:39.91]A prisonor of all your dreams that never come to pass.
[00:47.45]Alone you stand corrupted by the vision that you sought,
[00:52.88]And blinded by your hunger all your apetites are bought,
[00:58.53]But in spite of what becomes of you, your image will remain;
[01:04.59]A reminder of your constant loss, a symbol of your gain.
[01:11.75]CHORUS:
[01:12.57]And your friends are together,
[01:17.01]Where the people are all gathered,
[01:21.48]All along the road you travelled all your days.
[01:32.37]And soon you have succumbed to what the others all believe,
[01:57.79]And though the lie affects them still it's you that they decieve,
[02:04.01]And all at once you're lost within the emptieness of you,
[02:09.61]And there's no one left who's near enough to tell you what to do.
[02:15.82]You're left with nothing but your self-potential in the dark,
[02:22.99]Like tinder resting on a rock, protected from the spark,
[02:28.26]But your fire just consumes you, you alone can feel the pain,
[02:34.92]And you stand in all your glory and you know you can't complain.
[02:41.63]CHORUS
[03:03.25]But you are surely just as evil as the worst my tongue can tell,
[03:09.30]For you'll never face my heaven and I'll not endure your hell.
[03:14.91]You have lost your chance to mingle with your constant quiet lies;
[03:20.94]Deceptions hidden with your lips, but spoken with your eyes.
[03:27.00]For I know you for what you are not for that's really all you are.
[03:33.84]And your talents of a minor order seem to stretch too far.
[03:40.42]And we both know that this masquerade can't carry on too long.
[03:46.97]You're deep inside the Pride Parade, but where do you belong?
[03:55.91]CHORUS
