Now they're calling down
The cops and the crown
I'd never seen a girl so sad
When wings fly, she might say
Or don't rain on me today
It's my last dance at the parade

She came from somewhere
Could easily been nowhere
It was all the same for her
She did a lot of thinking
To get past what her mother did to her

With her fuck me shoes
And her fuck you face
I'd never seen a girl so sad
She closed the door
Pulled down the shade
It's the last dance at the parade

She said you ever see a drunk in a clothing store
Everything always ends up on the floor
I said it must be hard
She said no, daylight is hard
Daylight is hard

I remember the day
The clouds were blowing in toward the bay
And the rain was struggling to begin
As heavy as could be
Reveling in normalcy
Her eyes took on the color of the wind

After the first time
Way before the last time
I'd never seen a girl so sad
She closed the door
Pulled down the shade
It's the last dance at the parade
