Big Parade Lyrics - The Lumineers - The Lumineers

Lovely girl won't you stay, won't you stay, stay with me 

All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see 

Lovely girl won't you stay, won't you stay, stay with me 

All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see 

Fleet of black, fleet of black limousines 

All tinted machines, here comes the cavalcade 

With the armored cars, armored cars like berettas 

Flags on antennaes designed to keep me safe, keep me safe 

And oh my my oh hey hey 

Here he comes, the candidate 

Blue eyed boy, united states 

Vote for him, the candidate 

Diamonds cut, diamonds cut for the carats 

Plaster of paris, the floats fill up the street

Modern Love: The Best Top 40 Love Songs For Valentine's Day 

And the beauty queens, beauty queens with the white gloves 

All sick from the night clubs, they wave with pageantry, pageantry 

Oh my my oh hey hey 

Here it comes, the big parade 

Marching bands and barricades 

Make way, for the big parade 

Canvas covered, canvas covered in resin 

The violent men who dance the blood ballet 

And the bookies say, bookies say it's the 3rd round 

Oh when louie will go down, if he don't there's hell to pay, and hell to raise 

And oh my my oh hey hey 

Here he comes, the welterweight 

Take a dive, for goodness sake 

Or say goodbye to the welterweight 

Catholic priest, catholic priest in a crisis 

He's torn between romance and jesus, who will win the civil war 

Photos 

And he says I'm in love, I'm in love with a woman 

Yea this is my confession, I'm leaving I can't a priest anymore, anymore 

And oh my my oh hey hey 

There he goes, the man of faith 

Left the church for a fiance 

Let him love, the man of faith 

TV cameras, TV cameras and stage hands 

American bandstand, electric guitars 

And he's singin songs, singin songs for the lonely 

All the girls with the room keys, they know all his words by heart, by heart and they all sing 

Lovely girl won't you stay, won't you stay, stay with me 

All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see 

Lovely girl won't you stay, won't you stay, stay with me 

All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see 

Lovely girl won't you stay, oh oh ohoh 

Oh my my oh hey hey 

Here she comes by saving grace 

Burn the car and save the plates 

She's arrived, my saving grace
