In a Parade

  • Some nights the er is quiet as an ekg
    But tonight it feels like every broken bone
    Tonight it feels like every wounded soul
    Is filling out a form or on the phone

    I can't talk now, I'm in a parade
    I can't talk now, I'm in a parade
    Can't talk to you now, I'm in a parade
    I can't talk now, I'm in a parade

    Diagnosis schizophrenic
    Prognosis guarded
    Medication Seroquel
    Occupation street angel

    I drank some orange soda then I drank some grape
    I wear a hoodie now to cover my mistake
    My head's a lollipop
    My head is a lollipop
    My head's a lollipop and everyone wants to lick it
    I wear a hoodie now so I won't get a ticket
    I write my verse for the universe
    That's who I am

    I can't talk now, I'm in a parade
    I can't talk now, I'm in a parade
    I can't talk now, I'm in a parade
    Can't talk to you now, I'm in a parade

    Diagnosis schizophrenic
    Prognosis guarded
    Medication Seroquel
