A Grand Parade

A Grand Parade
MC Frontalot w/ Baddd Spellah

I want to throw my tears away
I want to join a grand parade
I want to march into the future with you
Already hear the brass and drum
Already nearly standing stunned
Already arm-in-arm and two by two by two

I don’t have to ask the past after
what’s done is done, and none can mask faster
than the crass bastards who kept the spoils,
giggled uncontrollable at thems that toils
an attempted foil, an attempted patsy
I might just misdirect when you attempt to ask me
if the righteous task’s in the forward march
double up the wager let me hold your cards
when the host departs, you’ve overstayed your welcome
and it’s mostly hard to live so you do it seldom
in my sole regard, I hope we’re ganging up
hope it’s heart to heart to front to back forever spanning with the majorettes and ribbon twirlers
all this way to get this frickin journey
on the road, oh, all of us can
thousand in a row if you’re calling this grand

The dishes don’t do themselves
The bed doesn’t magically get made
We don’t have a magic elf
To put all your clothes away

What do you want?
I’m not the maid
I don’t make up the rules
Not asking to be obeyed
Get yourself off the couch
And get something done today
Well, what are you waiting for?
A grand parade?

I’m not your private chef
I’m won't be your personal valet
What makes you think you are
the only one tired from their day

Not asking to be obeyed
Get yourself off the couch

A Grand Parade
By Lunkhead

The sun shines down on me and you
As we join the crowds on the avenue
The marching bands and the hot rods
Line up with the mayor and the dance squads

A celebration in the street
Joyous and yet bittersweet cause

Life is a grand parade
Where you watch the endless days go by but
Don't get carried away
Cause some day my friend this all will end so
Don't get left behind
Sweeping up the ticker tape
Stop standing by and join the grand parade

We got our blue jeans on and our flags wave
When we’re together worries melt away
The music blasts and the people cheer
Nothing bad could ever happen here

A celebration in the street
Joyous and yet bittersweet cause

Life is a grand parade
Where you watch the endless days go by but
Don't get carried away
Cause some day my friend this all will end so
Don't get left behind
Sweeping up the ticker tape
Stop standing by there and join the grand parade

Life is a grand parade
Where you watch the endless days go by but
Don't get carried away
Cause some day my friend this all will end so
Don't get left behind
Sweeping up the ticker tape
Stop standing by and join the grand parade

A Grand Parade
Sugar Johnson

Woke up this morning, I was feeling so low
Walking the streets where the memories flow
There's a grand parade but it's not for me
Just a lonely soul lost in the misery

A grand parade is passing me by
Leaving me here with a tear in my eye
Ain't got no ticket, I can't find my way
Just watching the world in this grand parade

The sun is gone and the shadows grow long
While I'm standing here singing this song
Maybe tomorrow things are gonna change
But for now I'll watch the grand parade

A grand parade is passing me by
Leaving me here with a tear in my eye
Ain't got no ticket, I can't find my way
Just watching the world in this grand parade

The horns are blowing, the people cheer on
But in my heart all the music is gone
Lost in the crowd, I can't find my place
Another lost soul in an endless race

A grand parade is passing me by
Leaving me here with a tear in my eye
Ain't got no ticket, I can't find my way
Just watching the world in this grand parade

A Grand Parade
By WreckdoM

One hundred twenty degrees is the concrete
Covered in scabs and ice cream
The air is rich with flags and exhaust
The children cheer and belch and cough
Wax statues melt in the sun
Mechanical smiles through bleeding gums
Shards of glass shower the crowd
Wooly mammoths shit in the road
Senior citizens strapped to hoods
Celebrities fondle giant balloons
A thousand trumpets arguing
The porta potties are caving in
We all scream in unison
We are reborn in sunburn
In pastel uniforms we drink beer
We're all getting cotton candy catheters

A Grand Parade
The Def Author

Back in my formative years, I guess you could say
I wasn't exactly the envy of my peers
In fact, when it came to my identity
it's accurate to say I was more of a non-entity
Not seen, not heard, not felt
But reasonably good at entertaining myself
And it can't be helped, one thing that I knew that I liked
Is if you give me a pen and some paper, I'm gonna write
Ignite - the creativity I have within me
Give it some time, and I might find who I am, and we'll see where it sends me
Had a couple of friends, but wasn't ultra friendly
A few people were nice, but really not that many
As far as what I enjoyed, well that was plain to see-
There's music and video games, what else could I need?
Both could be defined as something you play
And anything else would really only get in the way
So as the music hits, I get in that mode
I'm finding that there's plenty of lyrics to absorb and decode
And what awaited me was excellence
A grand parade of beats, and words, and hidden references

They all create
A grand parade

And these were the days of periodicals
In the library I could photocopy articles
And I suppose that puts a date upon this
No option to use the internet, it didn't exist
WAY back when, decades past, in days when
I was in the stone age with dinosaurs and cavemen
But don't get too hung up on the timeframe
I became obsessive when the rhymes came, my mind changed
For the better, it was energy personified
Need more input, along the lines of Johnny-5
And I suppose that much is not surprising
Everything changed with 3 Feet High And Rising
Along with Digital, both were rather critical
Taught me it was okay to be an individual
Like puzzles that get better with time
Lots to unpack, some meanings I have yet to find
A whole lifetime's worth of life lessons
And for a takeaway I'd offer this suggestion
Find what suits you, and change it up to preferences
A grand parade of beats, and words, and hidden references

Communicate
There's walls to break
They all create
A grand parade

There may be parts that I don't get
But let's call that incentive 'cause that's what it is
It's a rush of adrenaline when it all clicks
It's like, "How did I miss this?" And then it hits different
So just hold the phone, I should've known, but now I do
And next time maybe I'll catch something new
And yeah, that's my mission, unlocking those visions
Where you tend to be rewarded with more repeat listens
I'm with it

Communicate
There's walls to break
They all create
A grand parade

Baby, you're a loser, and that's OK
Maybe you're a failure, but I like you anyway

In your bedroom at twilight,
I put my hands on your chest
Rest my head on your shoulder
So I can feel your breath

And ghosts go by like shadows in the room
A grand parade of all your open wounds
And everything you've ruined

Everything you've ruined
Everything you've ruined
But I still love you
I still love you

I know that your father echoes in your skull
I know that sometimes you'd rather be nothing at all

And ghosts go by like shadows in the room
A grand parade of all your open wounds
And everything you've ruined

And ghosts go by like shadows in the room
A grand parade of all your open wounds
And everything you've ruined

I have a grand parade of ugly thoughts
Ugly thoughts about you
I dream of stitches and vile blood clots
Vile blood clots on you

I will get my revenge
Will get my revenge
Will get my revenge on you

I have a grand parade of monstrous dreams
Monstrous dreams about you
I hope that you find out just what I mean
What I'll do to you

I will get my revenge
Will get my revenge
Will get my revenge on you

I will get my revenge
Will get my revenge
Will get my revenge on you

Balance Lost

Stepping into an open sky
From this point the path is undecided
Should you choose to aim too high
It's your party even if you're not invited
The early echo is dying away
The world doesn't wait and doesn't hear
Do you sing to gain their praise
An anchorite's life left to pioneer

My streamers and confetti
A newspaper blowing across a parking lot
There's no one there to greet me
So much for the epilogue
I'll take another kind of stage
Somewhere there is a grand parade
I see them marching every day

A nervous little boy remains
out in the cold trying to unravel
All the things I could not say
A tangled string, a myth of time travel
I could not relive that day
Or risk losing focus on what lies ahead
The people and the faces change
But the boy leaves his weakness at the old address

My streamers and confetti
A newspaper blowing across a parking lot
There's no one there to greet me
So much for the epilogue
Somewhere there is a grand parade
I see them marching every day
And it all seems such a waste

Giraffes for Wings

We are the vampire slayers; we are the puppies in baskets
We are the ones who okayed the Challenger booster rocket gaskets

It has been a shit week
It has been a shit year
It has been a shit country
More or less ever since it’s been here

When it is Float Day
With you
We can parade
Around a block or two

When it is Float Day
With you
We can parade
Around a block or two

Peaches and cream or root beer
Green tea or plum sorbet
Creamsicle, ginger, strawberry, lime
Mint chocolate, or lemon meringue

I am okay
With you
I can live with
What we have to do

When it is Float Day
With you
We can parade
Around a block or two

A Grand Parade - Frankie Big Face

I’m getting in line for the Grand Parade
I’m stepping in time to the mess we made
We had (we had) some laughs (some laughs)
We smiled (we smiled) but it’s been a while…
Now I’m lining up to fade away.
To fade away.

I’m hopping and bopping down the street (in the summer heat)
I’m Doppler dropping with every beat (dropping with e-ver-y beat)
I know (we know) you know (you know)
We’re past our prime and it’s time to go…
So I’m lining up to fade away.
To fade away.

Even the sunset
Don’t know that it’s done yet
It takes time to bend the knee
You can close the door
And turn the key
On you and you and you and you and me

Let’s start lining up for the Grand Parade
Our minds were made up, our hands over-played
No words, no swords
Can save us from this early grave
It’s time to line up
And fade away.
It’s time to line up
And fade away.

[Sober]

Lyrics for my dumb song:



I been hanging round this old place
Since before I dropped out the first time or the third
And if I’d’a known I’d be here still
Maybe I’d’a picked up stakes without a word
Ain’t that just
The biggest lie you’ve heard

There’s a long line of makers waiting at the gate
Holding your place in a grand parade

Was a while ago a man hung around
Abusing folks who’d never heard the truth, me most of all
Well I deserved it then and maybe still do now
Like a conscience for taste and taking pause
But I heard he passed
God damn it all

Now that I look back on half a life I’ve spent
Running round with this caravan of fools making noise
I’d be a different man for better or for worse
But I wouldn’t change a thing if I’d a choice
So I’ll step in line
And raise a voice
