Night Parade Songtext

von Robbie Robertson

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
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

Oh 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 on the
In the night parade
We'll go marching marching
In the night parade
In the night parade

Are we all living in a street opera
Are we just living in a street opera

Oh we'll be marching
Oh oh in the night parade
Oh Lord
We'll be marching
Marching out in the night parade
In the night parade

Walking the night beat
The rhythm of the street
Moving to the heartbeat of the city
The city
Walking the night beat
The rhythm of the street
Moving to the heartbeat of the city
The city

Way downtown
Moving to the heartbeat of the city

We'll be marching
In the night parade
We'll be marching
People neither
Come on in the night parade

We'll be marching
People mightier
In the night parade
