The Sad Parade

i see you working
can't say i'm surprised -
this is not the first time we've been here.
is this the process?
fall in time to rise?
rise and fall then rise

(pre-chorus)
but when you're on your own
left without that chorus of adoring eyes
exposed
as no more than another gaping hole of need
holding out for sympathy

(chorus)
fall in - we'll stop the world again
the sad parade is coming
fall in - we'll stop the world again
the sad parade is coming
the sad parade is coming through

it's how we do it
everything's in time
make the myths
and take our place in line
is this the process?
fall in time to rise?
rise and fall and rise?

coming through
fallen
coming through
falling stars
coming through
coming through

(the fallen stars are coming)
