Cats Love A Parade [Demo]

Lyrics:

Click to view larger

And now
In the frozen vegetable fiction
All of us
In weight and joy
In self infliction
Growing hand in hand tired and weary
Of practice and theory
Of leaks and inquiry

You'll like us

We're reproducing faster
With new costumes for pageantry and practice

Carry on mascots of absurdity
Carry on now
Like dogs barking

----------

How amazing when i earn your trust
For stopping worlds and climbing on
Agree on everything and this you must
When getting off by getting right
Your might makes surely right
With your head on fire

And so an offer for a very short run
The get a life today - call now
The dazzling soul sale
Yeah, it's one chance gone
For losing energy and time

I'll give you mine
You'll be just fine
I'll give you autographs and paperbacks 
Oh I
You know I
You know I

And save you now with prayers behind a kiss
Infinity is hovering like a bitch
Her faith in the academy is wrecked
But on the other expect
To be freed

Hello forever 
How long not for me
How long I love you
How long deprive you
                    drive you
Strong enough to cry?
                                  fly?
                                 die?

I'll wait for you in artificial light

-       - - - - -

I'll take you home
I love you baby, what ever you say
I'll take you home
I love you baby - cats love a parade

-       - -

Your pack of liars and your line of work
Do not insure it all works fine
Through candid atmospheres
I'm dancing out of sight
Remove the enemy of lines

Your space is mine
For wasting time
For cracking money traps and treasure maps
Oh I
You know I
You know I

- - -

And so
Because of love lost, bickering and friction
You know
Eternal government
Will question our conviction
To the higher cause
How long have you know us?
Well, here at dicks and doughnuts
We're fresh out of doughnuts

So light up

And just make something happen
Just motivate
And activate your captain

Carry on mascots of absurdity
Carry on still

Like dogs barking
