Lyrics:
fires all around
What's the grace in falling down, without a sound
I thought that they would throw me
a ticker tape parade (ticker tape parade)
Never
with ticker tape, ticker tape
There's a million little battles that I'm never gonna win, anyway
I'm still waiting for you every night with ticker tape
for the world to start again
Ticker tape
Ticker tape
Tick-tick-ticker tape
Is this how you're feeling?
Falling with the world tonight
a million pieces
A ticker tape parade high and now you're free to fly
I'm carryin' a millstone malaise
It's been pulling down your gaze
You pound
anyway
I'm still waiting for you every
Night with ticker tape, ticker tape
There's a million little battles that
I'm never gonna win anyway
I'm still
And we'll be throwing a ticker tape Parade for the holy ghost, and
Throwing a ticker tape parade
As you're figuring out your soul
And you're figuring out
Into war.
Ankle deep we heroes amble
Ankle deep we wade
Ankle deep through someone else's
Ticker tape parade
Softly, softly, softly
Falls papersnow...
that ground me here
And remind me not to fear
The world's not broken like I think
I am not the weakest link
Looking out my window I see ticker tape
has burned out of the parade
Ashes are falling in the ticker tape parade
The words came out the same but don’t say the same thing
20/20 after sight
they're lawyers or fuck-ups or someone's Dad
And now you know
That there's no one waiting at the gate
No one's breaking out the ticker tape
Oh no
Ditched
to remember for
Give life and take the time you used
Those symbols blurring in my ticker tape
Were all I thought I knew of you
Cremate the broken wings
That
a million pieces
A ticker tape parade high
And now you're free to fly
When that muffled sigh
Says you're barely getting by
Cut your burdens loose
the blade to slip and that final blow,
But nothing happens, it's a cruel joke
As ironic as a ticker tape parade over the rain forest,
As ironic as a ticker
As ironic as a ticker tape parade over the rain forest,
As ironic as a ticker tape parade over my head,
As ironic as a ticker tape parade over my head
Going
Numbers in the air like ticker tape.
58, 56, 54,
Good angels at my door.
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58,
Good angels at my gate.
Throw a seven down,
Place another
Joust with Quaker pamphlet goaded
Into war.
Ankle deep we heroes amble
Ankel deep we wade
Ankel deep through someone else's
Ticker tape parade
display
Mind and body blown away
What a radiant crescendo
Ticker tape parade
Our hair and skin like
Marilyn Monroe
In an afterwind
Time is money
ticker tape parade
Did they think they'd be forgotten so soon?
And so will you and so will I but
I don't mind and here is why
I know that I can always come
one’ mover and shaker
My dear
Your confetti’s always earned
And I got ticker tape to burn
I hope you never give me
Something real and actual
And I hope
and body blown away
What a radiant crescendo!
Ticker tape parade
Our hair and skin like
Marilyn Monroe
In an afterwind
Time is money and money's time
We
from the haters
Watch out for all the takers
Had to fail in front of you to succeed even greater
Ticker tape my legacy
Love of the game
Can’t talk about
that says the same
Chorus
At the end of the day
I'm not looking for no ticker tape parade
When my whole damn world see’s my sparkle, fade away
To where
while selling rope to you
Oh I was a bird right then, one day I will be again
I've been telling jokes while selling rope to you
There's no ticker-tape
Well heaven knows the way things go
With ticker tape and radios
The good fight was lost long ago
And bravery doesn't live in those
Who're going
