Look out your window on any day   From June to September the love parade's   Out on the street where you live and you know   It's just a matter of time before it takes over      They've been married for so many years   Now a young love serenade blows sweet nothing in her ear   They're lonley together, when they're not apart   It feels like she's holding on to someone else in the dark.      Oh the love parade is on   Even against all odds   It'll go on forever   The love parade   Only matinee shows   The love parade.      But if he could put himself into a different skin   He'd be worrying about what he'd let himself in for   Hanging in the air apparent   A point of view almost transparent      So you sold your soul for a pocket full of sweet talk   Forget-me-not kisses at the end of a slow walk   And when it's done you put your world back on   'Cause she's otherwise engaged married to someone      Oh the love parade goes on   Even when you're gone   It'll go on forever   The love parade   Only matinee shows   The love parade.
