Hit Parade Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here's a final straw to take a stride
In a right direction
I can hardly see the sky
Covering this lonely path
Nothing's built to last
I can almost say that I want you back
But I won't, no I won't, I won't
Sun, come on around
[Chorus]
Tie yourself to me
Cavernous jewelry
I'm on your shoulder
Don't leave me sober
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Gold coins, I want it
Yellow doubloons, I need it
A silo, I want it
Stuffed animals, I need it
Mama, I'm runnin'
Feeling so electric
[Chorus]
Tie yourself to me
Cavernous jewelry
I'm on your shoulder
Don't leave me sober
[Bridge]
Tell me something, tell me anything
Is there one thing that could mean everything?
Tell me something, tell me anything
Is there one thing that could mean everything?
Yeah, yeah
Find me something, find me anything
Is there one thing that could mean everything?
Find me something, find me anything
Is there one thing that could mean everything?
Yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cannonball, I want it
Into the blue, I need it
Center row, I want it
The way you move, I need it
[Bridge]
Tell me something, tell me anything
Is there one thing that could mean everything?
Tell me something, tell me anything
Is there one thing that could mean everything?
Yeah, yeah
Tell me something, tell me anything
You're the one thing that could mean everything
Tell me something, tell me anything
You're the one thing that could mean everything
Yeah, yeah
[Ending]
But I had a good life, I really did
I wore a hat and I've smoked a pipe
Aw man, I was number one on the hit parade
