Elliott Smith – Rose Parade Lyrics  Share

From Elliott Smith's album: Either / Or

They asked me to come down and watch the parade
And to march down the street like the duracell bunny
With a wink and a wave from the cavalcade
Throwing out candy that looks like money
To people passing by that all seem to be going the other way
Said won^,t you follow me down to the rose parade?
Tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar
People were shouting and pushing and saying
And when I traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar
A ridiculous marching band started playing
And got me singing along with some half-hearted victory song
Won^,t you follow me down to the rose parade?
[ Rose Parade lyrics from

Won^,t you follow me down to the rose parade?
Won^,t you follow me down to the rose parade?
The trumpet has obviously been drinking
Because he^,s fucking up even the simplest lines
I^,d say it^,s a sight that^,s quite worth seeing
It^,s just that everyone^,s interest is stronger than mine
And when they clean the street I^,ll be the only shit that^,s left behind
Won^,t you follow me down to the rose parade?
Won^,t you follow me down to the rose parade?
Won^,t you follow me down to the rose parade?
