Paul Simon — In a Parade

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Refrain] Diagnosis: schizophrenic Prognosis: guarded Medication: Seroquel Occupation: Street Angel [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Refrain] Diagnosis: schizophrenic Prognosis: guarded Medication: Seroquel Occupation: Street Angel
