Sparkle and Fall

Saturday there’s a parade for the forgotten names
And there’s no telling when it’s going to stop
Spent a number of years talking shit, drinking beer
Now the flag’s looking me over like a cop
You always sparkle and fall, you ain’t so pretty
And I ain’t climbing at all in Emerald City
There’s something wrong with it all, it’s such a pity
There’s something wrong with it all
Every day is a parade of I forgot their names
We were friends, we shared a lot of loose talk
Forgot the ghosts on the roads, still headed for the coast
To carve their name into a piece of rock
You always sparkle and fall
You ain’t so pretty
And I ain’t climbing at all in Emerald City
There’s something wrong with it all, it’s such a pity
There’s something wrong with it all
Saturday there’s a parade for the forgotten names
And there’s no telling when it’s going to stop
