The Sheila Divine Lyrics
"New Parade"

miracles masked to mend
the literal for illiterates
in shady towns
people forget

a union wage
that extra tear
we overpaid
a disappear
into the voids
without a trace

and we hope that someday
we'll awaken in our garden
to the sound of a new parade

they celebrate
the coming years
until that one
that we fear
it's all numerals and zeros

push off that war we waged ...
