Fountains of Wayne - A Fine Day For A Parade lyrics

Mrs. carver says she's sorry<br>She knows enough not to worry<br>But what does she know about crime? <br>Believes the town is sinking<br>The price of forward thinking<br>You stay up all night half the time<br><br>Racking your mind<br>Alone in the night<br>While all your neighbors sleep tight<br><br>Years ago she lost her daughter<br>Off to a sacred order<br>Where they got stoned and worked the earth<br>Clears up her head with bourbon<br>Cause beer is so suburban<br>And declasse for what it's worth<br><br>She drinks it down down down<br>For all the old old days<br>She's thinking of it now<br>It's nice to get away<br>But what a fine day for a parade<br><br>She stays up mending curtains<br>Until her fingers hurt, and<br>You can get so bored of it all<br>No one can say for certain<br>She'll never safely know when<br>An asteroid will kill us all<br><br>She drinks it down down down<br>For all the old old days<br>She's thinking of it now<br>It's nice to get away<br>But what a fine day for a parade
