Diamonds cut, diamonds cut for the carrots

Plaster of paris, the floats fill up the street

And the beauty queens, beauty queens with the white gloves

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

Chorus

Here it comes, the big parade

Marching bands and barricades

Make way, for the big parade

Bridge

Verse

Canvas covered, canvas covered in resin

The violent men who dance the blood ballet

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

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

Chorus

And oh my my oh hey hey

Here he comes, the welterweight

Take a dive, for goodness sake

Or say goodbye to the welterweight

Verse

Catholic priest, catholic priest in a crisis

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

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

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

Chorus

And oh my my oh hey hey

There he goes, the man of faith

Left the church for a fiance

Let him love, the man of faith

Bridge

Verse

T.v. cameras, t.v. cameras and stage hands

American bandstand, electric guitars

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

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

Interlude

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

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

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

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

Lovely girl won't you stay, oh oh ohoh

Chorus

Oh my my oh hey hey

Here she comes by saving grace

Burn the car and save the plates

She's arrived, my saving grace
