Lyrics for 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 over 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 Occupation: Street Angel Occupation: Street Angel
