The Band - Night parade

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 the call Chorus: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 on the wall A silhouette, the kiss of death Did somebody take the fall Chorus 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 here her say Chorus We're living in a street opera Are we just living in a street opera Chorus Walking the night beat The rhythm of the street Moving to the heartbeat of the city Chorus
