Easter Parade Tab

by Emmy The Great


    
Is all that we've become,
                    
Just nothing but hats and bags
                     
We're waiting for taxi cabs
 
So you light cigarettes
          
And i'm taking drags 

        
In the air, a sea of words,
                
That didn't come soon enough 
        
In my mind a railway station 
            
And a ticket stub

          
And it is easter in the town
                     
I can hear as they strike off the bell 
                    
We're listening to some old man 
                                 
Say he came back to life with a hole in his head
 
                                                  
And now the sunday school is gathered Together in pink and in blue
                     
They're heralding angels for you
            
But not for me


They're singing 
            
Gloria in excelsis 
   
Deo deo

            
Gloria in excelsis
              
But there's no,
              
There's no     hope

           
And i am grateful for the things 
                      
That you've tried to show to me dear
               
But there no arcadia
                        
No alby and theres no jerusalem here


            
And underneath your pastures green
                        
There's earth and there ash 

And theres bone
                
And there are things that dissapear
                
Into it and then they are gone


               
And there is light that hits the sky
                
And then it is midnight again 
                 
And there is my mother, my father, 
                           
And you and we are all impermanent


                                
And on the green they tell their tales 
                    
About how even the dead can come back
                
I just dont believe in that 
 

          
So you can keep on singing 


             
Gloria in exclelsis 
   
Deo deo

            
Gloria in excelsis 

But there's no,
               
There's no     hope


                 
There's no such thing 
               
There's no such thing
 
There's no such thing
 
There's no such thing
 
There's no such thing
 
There's no such thing
 
There's no such thing
                          
There's no such thing as ghosts
