the lumineers - big parade (live from wrigley field) lyrics
[intro]
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
[verse 1]
fleet of black (fleet of black), fleet of black limousines
all tinted machines, here comes the cavalcade
with the model cars (model cars), model cars like berettas
flags on antennaes designed to keep me safe, keep me safe
[chorus]
and oh my+my, oh hey+hey
here he comes, the candidate
blue eyed boy, united states
votе for him, the candidate
[verse 2]
diamonds cut (diamond cut), diamonds cut for the carats
plastеr of paris, the floats fill up the street
and the beauty queens (beauty queens), beauty queens with the white gloves
all sick from the night clubs, they wave with pageantry, pageantry
[instrumental break]
[chorus]
and oh my+my, oh hey+hey
here it comes, the big parade
marching bands and barricades
to make way, for the big parade
[post+chorus]
oh+oh+oh
[verse 3]
canvas covered (canvas covered), canvas covered in resin
the violent men who dance the blood ballet
and the bookies say (bookies say), bookies say it’s the third round
oh, when louie will go down, and if he don’t, there’s h+ll to pay and h+ll 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 4]
catholic priest (catholic priest), catholic priest in a crisis
yes, he’s torn between romance and jesus, who will win this civil war?
yes, and he says, “i’m in love (i’m in love), i’m in love with a woman
yes, this is my confession, i’m leaving, i can’t be a priest anymore, anymore”
[chorus]
and oh my+my, oh hey+hey
there he goes, the man of faith
left the church for a fiancee
so let him love, the man of faith
[post+chorus]
oh+oh+oh
[interlude]

back here on the double drums and many, many other instruments throughout the night, these equally talented and handsome, mr. brandon miller

[verse 5]
tv cameras, tv cameras and stage hands
american bandstand, with electric guitars
and he’s singin’ songs (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
[bridge]
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
woah, woah, woah
[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
[outro]
thank you so much, wrigley field
