Big Parade Lyrics - The Lumineers

1 Lovely girl won't you stay, won't you stay, stay with me

2 All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see

3 Lovely girl won't you stay, won't you stay, stay with me

4 All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see

5 Fleet of black, fleet of black limousines

6 These tinted machines, here comes the cavalcade

7 With the armored cars, armored cars like berettas

8 Flags on antennaes designed to keep me safe, keep me safe

9 And oh my my oh hey hey

10 Here he comes, the candidate

11 Blue eyed boy, united states

12 Vote for him, the candidate

13 Diamonds cut, diamonds cut for the carats

14 Plaster of paris, the floats fill up the street

15 And the beauty queens, beauty queens with the white gloves

16 All sick from the night clubs, they wave with pageantry, pageantry

17 Oh my my oh hey hey

18 Here it comes, the big parade

19 Marching bands and barricades

20 Make way, for the big parade

21 Canvas covered, canvas covered in resin

22 The violent men who dance the blood ballet

23 And the bookies say, bookies say it's the 3rd round

24 Oh when louie will go down, if he don't there's hell to pay, and hell to raise

25 And oh my my oh hey hey

26 Here he comes, the welterweight

27 Take a dive, for goodness sake

28 Or say goodbye to the welterweight

29 Catholic priest, catholic priest in a crisis

30 He's torn between romance and jesus, who will win the civil war

31 And he says I'm in love, I'm in love with a woman

32 Yea this is my confession, I'm leaving I can't a priest anymore, anymore

33 And oh my my oh hey hey

34 There he goes, the man of faith

35 Left the church for a fiance

36 Let him love, the man of faith

37 TV cameras, TV cameras and stage hands

38 American bandstand, electric guitars

39 And he's singin songs, singin songs for the lonely

40 All the girls with the room keys, they know all his words by heart, by heart and they all sing

41 Lovely girl won't you stay, won't you stay, stay with me

42 All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see

43 Lovely girl won't you stay, won't you stay, stay with me

44 All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see

45 Lovely girl won't you stay, oh oh ohoh

46 Oh my my oh hey hey

47 Here she comes by saving grace

48 Burn the car and save the plates

49 She's arrived, my saving grace
