A Fine Day For A Parade Lyrics - Utopia Parkway - Fountains Of Wayne

Mrs. Carver says she's sorry 

She knows enough not to worry 

But what does she know about crime? 

Believes the town is sinking 

The price of forward thinking 

You stay up all night half the time 

Racking your mind 

Alone in the night 

While all your neighbors sleep tight 

Years ago she lost her daughter 

Off to a sacred order 

Where they got stoned and worked the earth 

Clears up her head with bourbon 

'Cause beer is so suburban 

And declasse for what it's worth 

She drinks it down, down, down 

For all the old, old days 

She's thinking of it now 

It's nice to get away 

But what a fine day for a parade 

She stays up mending curtains 

Until her fingers hurt, and 

You can get so bored of it all 

No one can say for certain 

She'll never safely know when 

An asteroid will kill us all 

She drinks it down, down, down 

For all the old, old days 

She's thinking of it now 

It's nice to get away 

But what a fine day for a parade 

She drinks it down, down, down 

For all the old, old days 

She's thinking of it now 

It's nice to get away 

But what a fine day for a parade 

What a fine day for a parade 

What a fine day for a parade 

What a fine day for a parade 

...
